Patrick Fleming and Gavin Robertson, both of Scotland Yard, solved an almost perfect crime committed by fellow officer Rodney Whitchelo. Whitchelo blackmailed H.H. Heinz Co and Pedigree PetFoods. The police had a hard time entrapping Whitchelo because he had access to the investigation, but was ultimately caught because of his own conceit.
