DG and LD have answered it well, because regardless, every attempt to seek help on a checked swing is, in reality, the base umpire overruling his partner on such an "announced" call if the BU rules it a swing and a strike.
There's a reason why this mechanic was instituted, a very good reason, and it's one we all should seriously consider using. It doesn't mean that we're somehow more perfect umpires, it just makes our job easier in the long run and avoids the problems like the one in the OP's scenario.
