Full Summary[]

Things are quiet at Ashfordly Police Station. Almost too quiet. Suddenly two armed men hold up PC Younger and Alf Ventress and lock them in a cell, while they free a single "guest" without Sergeant Miller noticing anything from behind his desk in the sergeant's office. With PC Walker and PC Bellamy in hot pursuit through Aidensfield the car kills a dog and seriously injures a pedestrian. The police do not even know the identity of the escaped prisoner, who was just detained overnight for being drunk. Something else is bothering Phil Bellamy - he is sure he saw Debbie's late husband Barry in Ashfordly...
