Ben Manfred attends a small fishing village, investigating the death of Austin Smith, who apparently drowned accidentally, Smith was a Nazi hunter.
The first episode to feature Ben Manfred as The lead, and it's a personal case for him, Smith having been one of his friends, in this case he's chasing after a rat.
It's a very engaging thirty minutes, again I'm so impressed by how much content was crammed into just thirty minutes. A true mystery, with lots of intrigue, you wonder why Manfred is met with such hostility, even the clergy seem vague and unhelpful.
It's worth remembering, that the end of the second World War was just fourteen years before this episode, feelings were very, very strong naturally.
It's very well produced, nicely filmed, and the transfers look terrific, was it made on film?
Jack Hawkins was excellent, I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy the Ben Manfred episodes.
I think this may have been my favourite so far.
8/10.
