Who is Eleanor Smith? Where is she? When the attention of the police is drawn to the missing occupant of a ground-floor flat, they have only one clue to her identity: a photograph found on the bed in a room showing signs of a struggle.
The photograph is published in the press - and three conflicting stories about her possible identity emerge. Which is right? All of them? None of them? Someone, somewhere must know.

Written by Marty Feldman and Barry Took
Starring Marty Feldman
co-starring John Junkin, Tim Brooke-Taylor

Before the first screening of his series on BBC-2 Marty Feldman, the comedian with the extraordinary looks and the talents to match, confessed that he was 'frankly terrified.' But after the unanimous acclaim the series received from the critics and the public he must be feeling very happy about its second showing. Later on in the autumn he'll be starting a new series for BBC-2.
