Softly, Softly: Five Pair o' Hands

on BBC One London

by Allan Prior
[Starring] Stratford Johns as Det. Chief Supt. Barlow, Peggy Sinclair as P/W Det.-Sgt. Allin, Gavin Campbell as Det.-Con. Digby

The five pairs of hands of the Nevin family provide them with an easy living, and an exhilarating - if dangerous - way of life. When this quintet of rogues makes an excursion into the Wyvern Region, their activities soon come to the notice of the Crime Squad. Allin and Digby interview some exasperating witnesses. Barlow squeezes a hint from an unusual informant. And Barlow's intervention at the moment of the Nevins' celebrating their success leads to a dramatic climax.
