Picnicking nearby with his parents, Ted and Sally, who have modern ideas on child rearing, Craig snaps lots of photographs. He is an earnest boy who wants to be a Cub Scout and does not believe in telling lies. While looking for the football, Ed stumbles upon a green Hefty bag, red blanket and dead Caucasian male. Before Ed can blink, Craig snaps a photograph of Ed and the corpse. Ed identifies himself as a police detective and swears his impressionable young "partner" to secrecy, but Craig is agog with fantasies about spies and secret agents. Later, after debrief at HQ, the only fantasy is the dead body. Homicide Sgt. Larry Carr, cannot find a dead body at the park. The Chief relates facts regarding a kidnapping and Ed believes it is tied to the elusive corpse. Ed receives a package w containing a Ken doll wearing a suit and wrapped in green plastic and Sgt. Carr sings 'Bring Back My Body to Me' (to the tune of an old standard) to tease one very unamused detective. Ironside is tasked with solving these various issues before Sgt. Brown can force Sgt. Carr to eat the doll, "arm by arm and leg by leg". In the absence of Fran, an all-male team works with considerable participation by Craig, to prevent further mayhem. Written by LA-Lawyer See less
