It seems the least of Chelsea's crimes is the theft of a very valuable painting, but as the women persuade Logan to investigate further and to cut some official corners, a much more sinister scenario starts to emerge. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |

| Trivia | In the end credits, one can see that one of the works of art used in the film is from the collection of Cary Grant. As Grant would pass away the same year of the film's release, 1986, this would be one of his last screen credits. See more » |
