Film director Michael Winner examines real-life police investigations in this topical and highly successful series. Some of the cases have attracted widespread publicity and others are largely unknown to the general public. The suspense and intrigue of investigative police work, involving a combination of painstaking research and flashes of inspiration, are skilfully conveyed in each gripping programme.

In this episode, customs men are tipped off that a massive haul of drugs is to be landed in a remote area of coastline, but they have no idea when or where. An intriguing international inquiry leads them to a group of fishermen in the tiny Scottish port of Ullapool. Attempts to intercept the contraband as it is smuggled ashore are frustrated after the drugs gang realise they are being watched. Customs investigators are left with a frantic race against time to stop the haul in transit on the roads.

This film was first broadcast: 13 Feb 1994
