A Perfect Crime

Based on storyline in Gideon's Fire. Patrick Allen plays someone who socially mixes with rich people and finds out when they are away so he and his accomplice (Patrick Bedford) can steal their jewels. Bedford is caught when a cop on a bike sees a car at a rich place where the owners have told him to keep a watch on it as they are away. His wife (Jean Marsh) tries to blackmail Allen so he kills her which leads to Gideon being publicly accused on attacking Bedford by a very nasty lawyer as they close in on Allen who is ready to flee the country. Also starred Alec Mango and Richard Davies.
