The story

Simon Garden, a well-meaning but ineffectual probation officer who suffers from hypoglycemia, is transferred to Manchester, where he develops romantic feelings for an attractive WPC, Emma. Following a police pursuit, Kirsty, a young juvenile delinquent, crashes her car and is rescued by Detective Inspector Burton, who then charges her with concealing Class A drugs in a toy. After Kirsty protests her innocence about the drugs, Simon, handling her case, becomes suspicious of Burton when he notices the toy in his possession.
