The Cruel Canal

When his van breaks down, Arthur resorts to canals to transport a cargo of ‘hot’ video players to fence 'Tony Two-Tone'. He rents a narrow boat and he and Ray proceed to get the goods from Greenford to Limehouse via the Grand Union Canal. As they near their destination, the boat gets stuck under a low bridge. Then they ram at full speed into the jetty and the goods are lost in the river. In the meantime, Arthur is being dogged by Big Dai who thinks that Arthur has nicked his precious collection of boxing videos.
