Darcy Taggart is a perpetually-smiling record producer who is secretly stealing songs from his own musicians and handing over bootleg copies to a mobster. When two of his musicians learn of the deal and try to cut in, he has them killed off in "acccidents" set up by his burly but child-like henchman Ronnie. Pete devises a scheme to erase the master tapes of various artists whom Taggart has promised to the mobster, forcing him to take incautious actions.

A fashion designer is murdered three times simultaneously as he presents during a fashion show -- by drinking cyanide-laced champagne, getting shot and having a spotlight tumble onto his head. The rest of the episode is shown in flashbacks, as the story unfolds of how people stole the formula for his latest show-stopping fashion and tried -- independently of each other but at the exact same moment -- to kill him for trying to find out who did it. (The three killers are all caught trying to escape in a coda at the end.)
