Hazell needs some wheels even though he bought a car in the previous episode.
Maybe the episodes were swapped around. This one is a better finale.
An old friend, Ned Barrow who became a bank robber has escaped from jail. A female reporter is helping him to clear his name for one offence he did not do.
Ned has showed up in Hazell's flat. The reporter hires Hazell to look into the matter. However his snooping as aroused the suspicion of gangster Jack Horner.
He is the one who framed Ned and wants to bump him off.
This is a tough one for Hazell, he has Choc Minty breathing down his neck. Horner and his henchman prepared to beat him up badly. Not counting Hazell slept with a woman before he found she was Horner's flame.
This is very much a crime noir with an exciting shootout at the end. He is also not best pleased with the reporter who was only after a good story.
Sadly there was no third series of Hazell. Maybe star Nicholas Ball got too big for his boots, his career never reached the heights again.
