Caught Red Handed

The renowned Flying Squad pursue a band of old‑school crooks known as the ‘Manhole Men’, tracking them through the city’s underbelly. At the same time, an inquisitive llama accelerates the downfall of a farmyard felon, bringing the rural crime to a swift end.

The programme is a single episode that pits the well‑known Flying Squad against a pair of unconventional antagonists. It also introduces an unusually curious llama, whose actions become central to the story’s resolution. The episode blends classic police pursuit with a touch of farmyard intrigue, offering a quirky juxtaposition of urban crime‑fighting and rural mischief. In the main storyline, the Flying Squad sets off after a group of retro‑style thieves who have dubbed themselves “the Manhole Men”. These old‑school crooks operate with a nostalgic flair, prompting the squad to launch a determined chase through the city’s underbelly. Meanwhile, on a nearby farm, an inquisitive llama takes a keen interest in the goings‑on, and its persistent curiosity ends up accelerating the collapse of a local farmyard felon. The animal’s meddling proves decisive, tipping the balance against the criminal. The episode weaves these two threads together, showing how the disciplined pursuit by the Flying Squad and the unexpected interference of a farm animal converge to bring both sets of wrongdoers to justice. By the conclusion, the Manhole Men are cornered, and the farmyard felon finds his own downfall hastened by the very llama that was simply looking around. The result is a concise, off‑beat adventure that links city policing with countryside antics.
