After the death of a local businessman, alcoholic Detective Inspector Herb Hooper and his sergeant Prunella Prune are suspended from duty by the Chief Constable, on the pretext they are under suspicion. Their undercover investigations reveal deep seated corruption in the local police force; the secrets of the illegally imported blue diamonds; why there are dozens of caravans hidden in the woodlands around the canal docks, and who is the dumb manservant of a local landowner?
