Thriller serial Here Lies Miss Sabry saw James Talbot set up his girlfriend/mistress in a flat next door to himself, when she then goes missing it looks like a case of kidnap, especially when a ransom note turns up but it looks like things might not be as straightforward as they seem…

The serial all takes place over the space of 24 hours.

The serial is another one of those early shows that is sadly no longer in existence.
