Brief Plot
Plot
Just after Bruce tells Ponch he gave his date hives, they respond to a call about a screaming girl. When they arrive, they find an accident including hot tar. She was holding the cover to a "Sea Thing" comic book. At the hospital, Bruce tells Ponch about Sea Thing just before they visit Anna. She has amnesia. Bruce and Getraer try to tell Ponch that it's just an accident and that he shouldn't worry about it anymore. Getraer is easily convinced to let Ponch uncover more.
While Bobby is out checking the neighborhoods for information on the girl, he notices someone stealing a car. Ponch and Bruce join Bobby in the chase. When they catch the guy, they find Anna's wallet.
Next, Ponch and Bruce go to the home of the creator of the Sea Thing to ask him about the comic book cover. He's a weird-o. Ponch and Bruce find him acting suspicious. When Anna is released from the hospital, she goes to stay with Kathy.
When Anna is at Central with Kathy, Mr. Woods (the Sea Thing creator) calls Central using the nurse's voice so he can get Kathy's address. Ponch and Bruce's next stop is Elvira's comic shop. She points out that theirs is different from the original.
Back at Central, Getraer is on his way home when he realizes that it's cold inside. Grossie turned on the air conditioning because his new sauna suit is hot.
That night, Anna and Kathy are on the beach when Kathy gets a phone call and leaves Anna alone on the beach. As Ponch and Bruce arrive at Kathy's, Anna is being attacked by the Sea Thing. Ponch runs into the water to wrestle the Sea Thing. It gets away.
The next day, Anna swears her mom's alive. Getraer agrees to dig up the body. When Ponch and Bruce visit Elvira again, she says that their cover is the real original.
Later, everyone visits the morgue. Ponch helps open the casket. All that's in it is a fake head that shatters when exposed to the air. Ponch, Bobby, and Bruce search Woods' house and find nothing.
At Kathy's, Anna answers the phone and believes it's her mother. She fakes getting a shower and sneaks out the window. When she goes to see her mother, she discovers it's really Woods in drag. When Ponch, Bruce, and Bobby arrive at West's, he tells the whole story of how he locked up Anna's mom to take credit for creating the Sea Thing. When Ponch tries to arrest him, he turns out to be a hologram. The real Mr. Woods is escaping in his hearse. The CHP chases him and arrests him after the hearse rolls onto the beach.
At the CHP's little party back at Central, Grossie has his sauna suit on under his uniform. Bruce suggests that he model for a new super-hero...Blimpman. Everyone has a good laugh as the credits roll.
