Following the rape-murder of a college student by a bachelor cop last year, one Tokyo newspaper sagely observed that despite the police force's proud record of professionalism, "under the uniform there is nothing but naked flesh...
...Richie faces a similar fate at the hands of King Kong. Flynn is saved temporarily because of a minor Mafia dispute.
