Much to Meekie's disapproval the governor asks Fletch to become the minder for suicidal new inmate, rock star Rob Strange becoming his cell-mate, in exchange for the promise of giving him his own radio station. After Rob has confessed the reason for his depression Fletch gets his girlfriend Karen to trace his long-lost daughter, thus averting a nasty roof-top accident and giving Fletch what he wanted - again much to Meekie's disapproval.
