Spindoe is released from prison, and is surprised to find that his deputy Eddie Edwards is not there to meet him. North London gang boss Henry Mackleson is though, and offers him a chance to work for him, which Spindoe declines. Mackleson arranges a 'demonstration' assassination attempt to impress on Spindoe his power, and Spindoe then discovers that his entire savings and criminal empire, (and wife Sheila,) are under Edwards control.

Larry Bolsover's body is discovered by the police. Spindoe goes to see a private detective Ray Scaliger to get evidence of his wife's adultery and to tell him who is visiting Edwards. When he returns to Bolsover's flat, he finds the police there who tell him of Bolsover's death. After giving a statement to the police, he visits his solicitor but is again waylaid by Mackleson who repeats his offer and gets another refusal.
