"Despite paying the random money Tina is not returned, a well educated young Constable, Clarence visits the couple and offers to look into the case. Fortunately his girlfriend is a social worker, and gives him a lead, Kowajinski. It's not my favourite of the serials, but it is good, the scenario starts off as something fairly serious, but as it goes on it spirals out of control. Some of the dialogue is a little dated, and reflects unpalatable attitudes. I'm not a great lover of any of the characters, with the exception of Mrs Reynolds, she's lovely, Clarence is a little smug. ..."
