In this gripping episode, we delve into the murky world of dock workers and union corruption in post-war London. The story unfolds with Winnie Layton, a determined young woman, seeking justice for her father, Bert Layton, who has been injured on the job and denied his rightful sick benefits. As Winnie confronts the unscrupulous union secretary, Henry Glutt, she uncovers a web of deceit and intimidation that keeps the dock workers in fear and silence. Her father's accident on the perilous E Wharf becomes a catalyst for exposing the union's fraudulent activities and the sinister forces at play.

Meanwhile, Marmaduke Bray, a meticulous and honest investigator, takes on the challenge of infiltrating the docks to gather evidence against the corrupt union. His daring plan to pose as a dock worker leads to a dramatic confrontation with Glutt and his henchmen. As the truth about the uninsured and dangerous working conditions comes to light, the episode culminates in a shocking twist involving a high-profile figure, Sir Edward Carpenter, whose downfall is as swift as it is tragic. This episode is a thrilling exploration of courage, corruption, and the quest for justice.
