In The Harland Affair businessman Jim Harland has had a nervous breakdown and is recovering in a nursing home. Whilst he is away Fraud Squad are investigating various irregularities in the running of his business. A prefab construction company.

Harland’s is trying to organise a merger with a Dutch company and without it Harland’s will go under. Hicks has discovered that Harland has made the company look three quarters of a million pounds richer than it is.

A definitely eccentric episode and for most of it Gamble seems to have no idea what is going on. A good performance from Andrew Keir as the pressured Harland though.
