- Tales of Scotland Yard centering on a detective team. A sort of halfway house between "Dixon of Dock Green" and "'Z' Cars." The detectives are still 1950s-style with good elocution and authoritative manner. A range of classic cases but gritty it isn't. Each case centres on one crime and one criminal.
- In wartime France, a young officer is killed during a raid to kill a German general at the house that used to belong to his grandmother. Before he dies, he talks about a treasure that was hidden there. Several years later, the members of that group are still together as a street band living in a London cellar. The last of the gang, who was chosen for his skills as a ruthless killer, escapes from prison in a rampage of killing and, obsessed with the treasure, takes the gang to France to recover it.
- Argumentative old Cuss Albert Haddock proves that a cheque written on the side of a cow is legal tender. Based on the stories of A P Herbert who trained as a lawyer though he never practised and became an MP for Oxford University just so he could sponsor the modern divorce law. The 'Misleading Cases' all cover obscure but humorous legal points.
