Palace Guard
Palace Guard is the story of a reformed jewel thief and cat burglar, Tommy Logan, who, after serving three years in prison, is released on parole and accepts an offer to become the head of security for the posh Palace Hotel chain. There were two reasons for this somewhat unusual job offer. One was that Logan had previously enjoyed great success in stealing from the high-class clientele of the Palace chain, and hence it was thought that he'd understand how to prevent others from doing so. And the other was that Tommy was the illegitimate son of the chain's owner, Arturo Taft, though Taft did not reveal this to Logan. The show centered primarily around the working relationship between Logan and his new boss, Christy Cooper, the hotel chain's Vice-President of Public Relations. In each episode, Logan and Cooper travelled to a hotel in a different city where Logan would help avert some disaster using quirky and questionable methods, leaving Cooper to sweep up the fallout.

When Kenny divorces his wife, Goodhue makes it difficult for him to see his son, Win, and would like to keep him away from Win. Goodhue eventually gets Kenny thrown out of the department. Mickey, who has been hauling some illegal loads for Goodhue is arrested and Goodhue convinces his daughter to dump him. And Goodhue takes away his truck. Eventually, Kenny and Mickey get together and decide to get back at Goodhue. And the best way they decide to do that is to throw a monkey wrench into his new development project.
