"Hazell is called in by an Indian Doctor, who wants him to investigate weather or not her cousin, a restaurant owner is being blackmailed, Hazell is not warmly received. Oh Dear, Oh Dear, I feared there was going to be an episode along these lines, this is one that time has definitely not been kind to. The story is somewhat run of the mill, but it's the combination of the dialogue and the attitudes of the time, that make this one a bit of a challenge so far. Poor in comparison to the first two episodes from this series, it's actually quite slow, it lacks the polish of the last few. ..."
