Storyline

Daniel is anxious to break the Liverpool to Manchester railway's transport monopoly of the Merseyside docks and rail board. Elizabeth suggests that they use the canal system to beat the railways.

James accepts a cargo with no questions asked or papers only to find it is from the proceeds of a robbery in Manchester.
