The bravado Fonzie shows around Kirk is just a cover - he's really troubled by the officer's constant harassment. Richie decides to write a letter to the editor of the Milwaukee Journal, while Howard - who is also considering contacting the mayor about Kirk's power-hungry attitude - calls a meeting of the Leopard Lodge to pressure Kirk into stopping his harassment campaign. However, Kirk somehow finds out what's going on, shows up at the Cunninghams and tries to intimidate the Lodge members into backing off (by threatening such things as ticketing the group for unlawful assembly, revoking Arnold's dance floor permit, citing Mr. Malph for a sign variance violation and taking away Howard's loading zone). Eventually, Kirk learns that Fonzie is at Arnold's and goes in for a late-night confrontation.
