A television play in four parts by Duncan Ross
[Starring] Andrew Osborn, Lana Morris
with Daphne Anderson, Patrick Troughton, Robert Urquhart

The action takes place in a small fishing village on the South-West coast and in London. Time, the present.

Was it the brandy that made Sylvia Craig dive into the sea? Was Detective-Inspector Bill Burroughs right when he said 'I think we have stumbled on something'? The doctor is sceptical, and would rather analyse the brandy glass than the contents of the hot water bottle he is taking to the lab. Meanwhile Charlie Morris, who was the last to see her alive, has been charged with the murder of 'The Naked Lady'.
