EPISODE OVERVIEW

0 Reviews 0 Votes

As Maggie and PJ are investigating what caused five teenagers to collapse at a local nightclub, Adam and Dash are consoling a farmer's son whose goat has died under suspicious circumstances. He suspects the neighbouring farmer—the irascible Albie O'Connell—but Adam and Dash are unable to find any evidence of foul play. When a sixth teenager is found unconscious in an alleyway, the Heelers realise someone is flooding Mt. Thomas with home-made amphetamines. But who? A possible answer comes in the form of a couple of new bikers that Adam and Dash see riding into town. Perhaps they have joined forces with the local gang, the Legends, to manufacture amphetamines? A chat with the bikers reveals nothing helpful, but the Heelers remain convinced of their involvement when a newcomer to town is found beaten up by someone using chains and knuckle-dusters. Meanwhile, Adam finds he has a new best friend in the young goat owner, who comes to him in frantic distress early one morning to report that his second goat has also been killed. This time Adam organises an autopsy, and when the goat is found to have traces of cyanide—a by-product of amphetamine manufacture—in its stomach contents, the Heelers realise they are close to the source of the drugs. A chance encounter with the "bird-watching" visiting bikers leads Adam and Dash to check out an old shed on a neighbouring property to the goats. Ad sure enough, they find the amphetamines cooking. The Drug Squad is called in, in the form of the Clandestine Lab Crew, and the Heelers assist in staking out the shed to catch the bandits red-handed. But just as the Drug Squad are about to pounce on the amateur "cooks", the visiting bikers come thundering up with shotguns at the ready, and the intention of blowing the lab sky-high. It takes some quick heroics from the Heelers to save the day. Add a recap »
