Len Phillips, an ex-boxer, helps P.C. Foster to break up a group of youngsters blocking the pavement. When Phillips gives evidence, he does not reveal that Foster has been unnecessarily rough in his handling of the rowdies. But he tells Sergeant Blackitt about it and 'Blackie' drops a hint. Later P.C. Foster (Donald Webster) sees Phillips come from a pub and get into a car and this marks the beginning of another incident which calls in question the whole tone of Foster's behaviour.
