An obnoxious seventeen-year-old, while trying to impress several of his street-pals, pulls a gun on a man standing alone in a dark alley. Unfortunate for him, his victim-to-be is a cop on stake-out and he is immediately arrested. Sentenced to Michael's ranch, Marco sets about insulting and belittling everybody he encounters and goes as far as to attack Vic with a knife. While all are gathered in the yard they see a small airplane, obviously experiencing engine problems, crash in the nearby forest. As Michael Terry and Fox Devlin set out on a rescue mission, they are unaware of being followed by the boy. He watches as the pair extricate the injured pilot, the only occupant of the aircraft, and depart with him, headed back to the ranch and an awaiting ambulance. Marco then seizes the opportunity to search for valuables. In such a small plane he quickly finds what turns out to be the jackpot, a half million dollars worth of cocaine. Seeing nothing but a great deal of money in his future, he hides the drugs back at the ranch intending to ransom them back to their intended recipient. However, Philip Reid plans to move Marco to a detention facility in the morning.
