This episode of ''Series/{{JAG}}'' begins with two naval aviators picking up an upgraded F-14 Tomcat from defense contractor Frohl Technologies. Soon after, their plane crashes. Harm is sent out to investigate the crash and notices that a different aircraft’s power plant is missing a component called a Constant Speed Drive (CSD). The mechanics admit that it was cannibalized to be installed on a different F-14. Ultimately it’s determined that the official Navy rep LCDR Holstford (Ted King) had ordered that the CSD on the crashed Tomcat be removed and installed on a different aircraft. However as Harm prepares to prosecute, Congresswoman Bobbi Latham (Creator/AnneMarieJohnson) swoops in and informs Harm that LCDR Holstford has been given immunity in return for testimony on fraud and waste at Frohl Tech.
Harm attends the hearing in which two things happen. The first is that Holstford testifies to intentional carelessness and falsification of maintenance reports in order to stay within budget of the F-14 upgrade contract bid that they won. However, the second event causes him to be caught perjuring himself, as a result of which Holsford’s immunity is cancelled and the Navy is free to prosecute him. Harm convinces the Admiral that it’d be more productive if he can defend Holsford so that Frohl Tech’s corruption can be exposed.
However, Mic Brumby (Creator/TrevorGoddard) acting as Frohl Tech’s lawyer makes it extremely difficult for Harm to find anything. In desperation, Harm takes an F-14 up with Frohl Tech’s test pilot Wilson (David Hayward) in the back seat, then fakes the effects of a CSD malfunction to convince Wilson to testify. His testimony and a last minute “gift” from Brumby allowed Frohl Tech’s corruption to be exposed and Holstford gets a reduced sentence (18 months confinement and hard labor).
