EPISODE OVERVIEW

1 Review | 4 Votes

Local farmer, Bob Crowley, is due to have his harvester repossessed. Nick and Maggie escort the repo agent, Mr. Miller, to the farm. When they arrive it's been stolen. There is lots of finger pointing.

Later that day Miller and his mates beat up Crowley. Maggie has a word to Bob's daughter Grace. Turns out that Grace and her boyfriend had "hidden" the harvester so that her father could collect the insurance so he wouldn't lose the farm. Needless-to-say she is charged.

Meanwhile local handyman, David Tufnel is found dead. Wayne learns the hard way that whoever signs the body over to the morgue has to assist with the autopsy.

On the personal front, Roz is trying to establish a beauty parlour at the watch-keepers house. Wayne doesn't get around to asking Tom for permission and when women start ringing the station for facials Roz is found out. Tom spits the dummy and closes her down before she really starts.
