Police Chief Jesse Stone is called to the junior high school when reports of lewd conduct by principal Betsy Ingersoll filter into the station. Ingersoll claims she was protecting the propriety of her students when she inspected each girl's undergarments in the locker room. At the same time, the women of Paradise are threatened by a voyeur, dubbed "The Night Hawk." Initially, he's content to peer through windows, but he becomes more reckless, forcing his victims to strip at gunpoint, then photographing them. And according to the notes he's sending to Jesse, he's not satisfied to stop there.
