The Mind of Mr. J.G. Reeder - Season 2 (1971)

Reeder is called in to investigate the death of an actress, and subsequently learns of an unlikely blackmailer.

Why should anyone wish to kill Mr Reeder? After a bomb arrives in his office, a car almost runs him down, and a piece of masonry narrowly misses him while walking home, the mild-mannered detective determines to find out.

When several Peers of the Realm appear to be implicated in the murder of Hetty Malone, a popular music hall star, Sir Jason Toovey gives Mr Reeder 48 hours to prove the men innocent of their involvement with the woman.

As she is about to be announced at the palace, a young debutante is spirited away. Mr Reeder is appointed to find her - and uncovers a dastardly traffic in white slavery.

When someone attempts to kill a reformed safe-breaker, Mr Reeder must discover what lies behind the threats to the man's life. What he discovered leads him to suspect that a villain's word can't always be trusted.
