Detective Chief Inspector, George Swell, gets a lead on an old case. The case involves a villain who had escaped from prison while he was doing a 10 year bit for gold smuggling.
It seems the man's mother is ill. Swell thinks the crook will try and contact her. Swell is given 48 hours to set up surveillance. He is assigned an Inspector from the Police Flying Squad as help, The man, Patrick Mower, and Swell do not like each other. They had been involved in a botched stakeout several years before.
They set up in an abandoned building across from the apartment of the suspect's mother. Two days go by and no joy on the stakeout.
They are in the process of closing down the site when an ambulance pulls up to the apartment. The woman is brought out, loaded onto the ambulance and driven off.
It occurs to the Detectives that something is amiss here. Into the car they leap and after the ambulance they race. Sure enough, it stops at a block of flats nowhere near a hospital. The villain whom they are looking for, comes out to help his mom out of the ambulance.
Back up is summoned by radio and John Law quickly swoops in and arrests the escaped convict. (color)
