Scotland Yard receives news, that bank notes stolen in a Royal Mint van heist have turned up in South America.
Inspector Caesar Smith, (Denis Shaw), is put on the case, and ends up in Brazil, where he learns that the stolen notes were used in the purchase of coffee beans, which leaves him trying to track down the buyer, as they were more than likely the men behind the Royal Mint robbery.
He follows the trail which leads to Europe, before ending up back in Britain at the door of possibly the guilty coffee importer/van robber.
This is a pretty well paced, and enjoyable, little film at just over an hour, in which Denis Shaw appears to be having a ball with his globetrotting, karate chopping, and coffee beans!
Maybe not a classic, but an interesting way to spend 60 odd minutes.
In the Oxfordshire countryside Clarence returns to his moving profession working for the vicar's wife.

25th December 1970
The Christmas 1970 episode. Originally filmed in Black & White
Mrs. Railton, who happens to be blind and deaf, somehow manages to run a private club, as well as acting as a fence for baddie Clem Hayes and his gang of misfits. After one of the gang gets caught during a heist, Mrs. Railton tells Clem that they'll need to cool it for a while.
But Clem has different ideas, and reveals details relating to a diamond consignment worth £250,000 that is coming over from Amsterdam.
He reveals where the diamonds are being stored, and has floor plans of the building, so the gang can be in and out with no problems.
The heist goes ahead, and everything runs smoothly, except..., a night watchman ends up dead. Panic sets in amongst Railton, Hayes and the gang, as the thought of facing murder charges sends everyone into panic mode, and the saying, "Honour Amongst Thieves" goes out the window.
Far fetched basis regarding Mrs. Railton's character, but fairly entertaining crime thriller, with a very early role for Sean Connery.
