Sledge Hammer! - Season 2 Episode 6
Seasons & Episodes
Episode Overview
In a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, Hammer is assigned to guard Angelica, a mobster's girlfriend, who is scheduled to testify at a trial. They bond over a mutual love of guns and violence. As they are climbing a set of stairs at her favorite spot, a lighthouse, a mystery man grabs her and takes her to the top. Hammer is unable to follow, because he has developed an intense fear of heights. He watches helplessly as Angelica is pushed over the side and falls to her death. Later at a bar, Hammer sees a woman resembling Angelica, and sets out to prove that maybe she's not dead after all.
