  In THE BODYGUARD, when Cord McKay saves Stacey Webb from an attack, she has no idea he's played a devastating role in her past. After a second incident, she insists he become her bodyguard. Both Cord, who is guilt-ridden, and her father, who hates Cord with a righteous passion, balk at the idea but Stacey wins out.
