Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Rogues Jelly Knight, Scapa Flood, and Lennie the Dip leave prison expecting boss The Duke to have their stash ready to share out. Instead, Duke's girl Sara gives them the news Duke is dead and the money gone on nursing care. They soon discover that Duke is actually running Hope Springs Nature Clinic with the help of most of the local villains. Very strange - and the nearby army camp and Sara's encouragement of Lieutenant Vine would seem to be no coincidence either. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |

| Trivia | Because Charlotte Rampling's voice had recorded badly on the soundtrack, all her dialog had to be dubbed. See more » |
| Goofs | When The Duke sets fire to Lenny the Dip's newspaper, he lights the bottom right-hand corner of the page. We see a medium shot as Lenny recognises the Duke, still with the flames in the bottom right-hand corner. However after a brief cutaway of the Duke's coach, the same shot of the Lenny now shows the bottom right-hand corner of the paper is intact and the flames are all in the centre of the bottom of the page.
