- When Carrie Louise Serrocold suspects that someone is trying to poison her, she sends for the one person who might be able to help, her old friend Miss Jane Marple.
- Dolly Rawlins has just been released from prison after serving 5 years (stated on the credits of the original TV series) for murdering her husband Harry after a robbery that she and several other women carried out on a security van that Harry was planning to raid [see _"Widows" (1983) (mini)_ and _"Widows 2" (1985) (mini)_]. Having acquired a reputation in prison as a dominant, respected figure, and now apparently being a reformed character, Dolly teams up with a number of other ex-convicts: Gloria Radford (who had fenced stolen guns), Ester Freeman (who ran a brothel), Connie Stevens and Angela Dunn (prostitutes), Julia Lawson (a drug dealer), and Kathleen O'Reilly (a forger). Dolly and the other women make plans to set up a children's home in a derelict Victorian house. But Dolly is planning one final armed robbery on a mail train. The other women want a share in the proceeds, but they're also secretly planning to get their hands on Dolly's money and jewels from the previous robberies. The police are also watching Dolly, hoping that she will lead them to the loot, but matters are hopelessly compromised when Mike Withey, one of the detectives and the brother of Shirley Miller, who died in the jewel raid [see _"Widows 2" (1985) (mini)_], starts having an affair with Angela. He is coerced to help with the mail-train robbery. Having pulled off the robbery, the women meet back at the Manor House to divide up the spoils, but the simmering atmosphere of mistrust between Dolly and Ester leads to a tragic ending, after a trivial misunderstanding about a visit by the police.
- A group of patients resides in a sanatorium and aspire to walk twice round the daffodils, which they can do when they are better.
- A boy finds a mysterious treasure map poster with 3 cryptic clues. He follows the clues and each time discovers a message. The first message is from the angel in the church graveyard, the next is from Sandy the racehorse and the third is from a den in Foxes Wood. He puts all the clues together and plots a course on his map to the oak tree in the middle of the wheat field. Deep in the crevices of the tree he finds a rusty old horseshoe. He is upset by this paltry reward and goes back to the poster and rips it off the wall. Sandy appears from behind the poster. The boy devises a plan to give the horseshoe back. The boy goes back to the stables and hangs the horseshoe up for Sandy. Sandy nods in the direction of his saddle. The boy goes and looks and the saddle is filled with gold coins. Back at home the boy inspects the coins to discover they are chocolate. He is pleased with chocolate and sits in the sun reading Treasure Island eating his booty.
