An action packed instalment of Scotland Yard.
A newly married couple are found dead in a caravan parked in the land of farmer John Dent.
The motive seems to be robbery. An engagement ring, £100 in cash and a camera were missing.
Farmer Dent is not keen on trespassers in his land. He claimed to have seen a vagrant nearby after he found the bodies.
Supt Reynolds is called in from Scotland Yard. A patch of oil arouses his interest.
An anonymous phone call tells the police to take a look at the Dent's attic. The farmer and his wife have locked up their son for some years who has suffered from mental health issues.
It looks like the case is cut and dried. Supt Reynolds thinks someone with a German accent and a fast motorbike may provide more answers. Especially as the young couple were seen flashing their cash about in an inn the day before they died while having some pub grub.
A brisk episode with the Dent's son being in the frame. Reynolds though was suspicious of the barmaid at the inn
I was surprised that the detective following the barmaid could not fathom the importance of the powerful motorbike. Some poetic justice regarding the gallows the murderer crashed into.
