Una noche, Gina es despertada por un intruso enmascarado, El Hombre Be-Ro, que ha estado entrando a robar en todo North Riding. Cuando él irrumpe en la granja Flax, su hija Marion logra verlo de cerca. Claude Greengrass tiene un nuevo amigo. Se hace llamar Jason Brown, pero tiene un parecido inconfundible con el cantante y compositor Bob Dylan e incluso suena como él. Brown está acompañado por dos chicas jóvenes, Paula y Sandra, en un coche deportivo. Después de una fiesta en la camioneta de Brown, las dos chicas salen a dar un paseo rápido en su coche, con consecuencias trágicas para una de ellas. Pero ¿cuál de ellas es?

Big commotion in Ashfordly. The famous pop manger Stan Sparrow returns to his native town to marry his latest young star Cathy Dee. The next morning Sparrow is found dead in his room at the Aidenfield Arms. The police thinks that he was murdered, but who will kill a man who is already dying of leukaemia? Has it something to do with the memoirs that he was writing? PC Wetherby catches Aunt Peggy with ten cases of stolen rum and suddenly she suffers from a total loss of memory (very conveniently) when the PC tries to interview her. But maybe Alf Ventress can cure her. Or David since he may have won a fortune on the football pools and can't find the coupon. Young Ben informs PC Younger of a crime about to happen, but when the criminal is apprehended Younger is very reluctant to reveal his informant. Understandably since Ben's family name is Wetherby - as in PC Wetherby.
