A pretty full case load for Dangerous as three cases nobody wants ends up on his desk. First, there is the stupid armed robber that rushes into a job centre ordering the staff to open the safe. When the staff point out that there is no safe he realises that the place is no longer a building society. Next, there is the pensioner who believes that her next door neighbour has murdered his wife, cut her into pieces and is gradually flushing her down the toilet piece-by-piece. Finally, there is the irate victim of a burglary who came to the police station to complain to the chief about the lack of information and progress of her case.
