Like all areas, Newtown has its share of vandalism. A group of youths... voices... a crash of glass... the sound of footsteps running down street. But on this night vandalism has extended itself to robbery and physical violence. Three youths are brought in as suspects... one with a difference.

[Starring] Robert Hardy, Geoffrey Keen, Philip Latham, Deborah Stanford
Guest stars, Robert Beatty, Burt Kwouk

Tonight Troubleshooters penetrates the fascinating world of Japan. Stewart and Roz find themselves in the uncomfortable world between East and West, where the traditions of a thousand years conflict with life in the twentieth century.
Tamira Hitaki, who was seen in Singapore four weeks ago, is back in his own country, Japan. His background as a samurai who survived the Hiroshima bomb causes problems for Mogul.

Tonight's Troubleshooters features a welcome return to the small screen for Canadian star Robert Beatty, giving a memorable performance as the American Ambassador in Tokyo, and glamorous Oriental actress Francisca Tu, as Hitaki's tragic sister.
