Synopsis[]
A reporter who knows Amy needs help because the town where he was writing a story is ruled by a corrupt sheriff. Face runs against him in an election, plastering posters of his picture all over. When Colonel Decker sees one he moves on the whole team.
Storyline[]
A reporter friend of Amy's enlists the team to aid in defeating a long term incumbent small town sheriff named Dawson who is as corrupt as the day is long. Dawson and his deputies supply protection to an illegal casino and moonshine runs. Of course if anyone runs against him, Dawson finds a way to stop them...or kill them before they become a serious threat to his authority. Naturally, that won't stop the A-Team from having Face masquerade as a small town war hero returning to challenge Dawson for his seat. That is, of course, if Col. Decker and his men don't get wind of the A-Team's location first!
