Plot outline

Frasier has always believed that people are fundamentally decent and good, but he now finds his beliefs and patience tested when he attempts a series of acts of kindness and they all turn out badly. Firstly, he finds and returns a lost wallet in Café Nervosa, and the owner accuses him of stealing money from it; secondly, he helps a woman load a dog into her car at the airport, and she drives away without thanking him; thirdly, he stops to help a man with a flat tyre, and the man calls in to KACL threatening to sue him for damage to his car. The final straw comes when he is out in the rain and offers a woman shelter in his car, only to discover that she is a prostitute (and also a transvestite), and that the police are watching everything. All of this is particularly unfortunate, as Frasier's son Frederick is visiting for his birthday.
