Inspecteur de service (1958)
Inspecteur principal à la brigade criminelle de Scotland Yard, George Gideon est bon mari et excellent père, mais son métier l'absorbe entièrement. Il a promis d'être à l'heure ce soir, d'apporter du poisson pour le dîner et d'assister avec des amis au premier concert de sa fille Sally. Sa journée s'annonce pourtant très mal. Après avoir récolté une contravention, Gideon est chargé de surveiller un collègue accusé de toucher des pots-de-vin. On lui signale ensuite l'arrivée à Londres d'un certain Sayer, un tueur…
