At the Los Angeles harbor, Nordberg is using a listening device to spy on a heroin deal happening on a ship. Nordberg interrupts the meeting and orders those involved to put their hands up. None of the drug dealers comply and Vincent Ludwig steps out of the shadows and orders his men to shoot Nordberg. Through a series of mishaps Nordberg is severely injured and falls overboard. Frank Drebin goes to Vincent's apartment and is greeted by Dominique. Frank is introduced to Vincent and he questions him about Nordberg. Vincent seems concerned about the health status of Nordberg and if Nordberg has been able to communicate any information. Before leaving, Frank is introduced to Jane Spencer, Vincent's assistant. After Frank leaves, Vincent asks Jane to spend time with Frank in order to learn about any potential wrong doing involving the company. Pahpshmir visits Vincent and Vincent agrees to Pahpshmir's secret mission to kill Queen Elizabeth II for 20 million dollars. Vincent uses Dominique as proof that he can make anyone an assassin by using sensory induced hypnosis. Vincent presses a button and and beeping sound emits. Dominique takes a revolver and points it at Pahpshmir and then herself, pulling the trigger multiple times. Vincent clicks the button again, causing the beeping noise to stop and Dominique returns to her normal self. At Queen Elizabeth II's reception Frank goes up to Vincent, who is sitting with Jane and tells him the gloves are off and accuses Jane of setting him up. Disoriented from a loud trumpet blast, Frank tackles the Queen when he thinks Vincent is about to shoot her with a Revolutionary War musket Vincent is presenting to the Queen. A the baseball game, a third out is called and Vincent awakens his assassin, Reggie Jackson. Jane yells out a warning to Frank and Vincent grabs her and takes her away. Frank tackles Reggie which leads to a bench clearing brawl. Reggie is about to shoot the Queen when Frank fires one of his cuff link darts at him. The dart ricochets and hits a woman in the balcony, causing her to fall and incapacitate Reggie. When Frank removes his umpire mask, the crowd believes it is Enrico Pallazzo who saved the Queen. Frank chases Vincent to the top of the stadium. Vincent holds an Uzi to Jane and threatens to kill Frank for ruining his life, and Frank in return grabs an innocent bystander and points a gun at her. Jane bites Vincent in the wrist causing him to drop his Uzi and Frank shoots him with a cuff link dart. Vincent falls over the edge and his body is driven over, run over with a steam roller and has a college band walk over it.
