View in Radio Times

A television play in six episodes by Donald Wilson.
[Starring] Anne Crawford, Andrew Osborn, and Walter Fitzgerald

We have seen a daring and successful jewel robbery. Senor Romalho, from Portugal, took his glamorous friend, Rosa, to Foucquier's, the great London jewellers, and managed to steal the case of one of the six diamond necklaces submitted for their consideration by Tindall, the manager. They then selected a necklace, and later, when Tindall's assistant, Mr. Barrett, brought it to their hotel, the empty case was switched for the one containing the necklace. Romalho can now claim non-delivery. But Romalho and Rosa (real names: Bertie and Sally) and their boss, Joey Walker, now find luck against them. Another member of the gang, Willie, carrying the necklace away, was knocked down by a car and collapsed at the door of the mews flat of actress, Polly Arden, who happened to be awaiting the arrival of a paste necklace to wear on TV that evening. So Polly sailed out to her panel game, unaware that she was wearing a stolen necklace worth £15,000.
