on BBC Television

View in Radio Times

A comedy-thriller in six parts by Maurice McLoughlin.
[Starring] John Slater

Back in London after his adventurous trip to Chester, Johnny visits the Red Feather Club where Ferrari, the illusionist, and Beryl are working. One visitor to the club who verifies information Ferrari gives during his thought-transference act turns out to be the lorry driver whom Johnny saw first in Old Moore's cafe shortly before Sonia's death and, second, in his own driving mirror as he was almost forced over the railway bridge. Johnny dogs the man to a warehouse where he overhears a conversation that makes it clear that an address given by Ferrari is that of the next centre of distribution of doped cigarettes. Johnny makes a quick dash to Inspector Markham and they proceed to Johnny's home to find it ransacked and Joan (his wife) vanished
