Plot[]
D.C. Carver and D.C. Dashwood have a chemists' shop under observation: while Carver is cold and hungry watching from the car, Dashwood is in a lady's flat being fed breakfast and cups of tea. A man smashes the shop's front door and then tries to run over Carver in his van, which turns out to have false plates. Pressure is being placed on pharmacists to fill in blank prescription forms. W.P.C. Brind and P.C. Haynes are asked to investigate an all night party, which is an Irish wake that has got out of hand.
