The story

Clem Morgan, demobilised from the Royal Air Force and unemployed after the war, helps in the stealing and transporting of black market goods in coffins to crime boss Narcy's (short for Narcissus) headquarters in a funeral parlour.

Clem objects and tells his girlfriend, Ellie, that he will quit after one last job that night, the looting of a warehouse.
