Gideon rushes off to the office, rips the lettuce off his lapsed subordinate, sends out the alert for a sex murderer from Manchester. Then he looks in at the scene of a payroll robbery, gets word that the inspector he sacked has been killed by a passing car, discovers that the same car was used in the payroll job. Puzzled, he rushes...
