a girl playing strip poker. They allege he owes them a large sum of money-a gambling debt of which he knows nothing-they beat him up and leave. John then receives a telephone call from Karl Mendez (Derek Aylward), who appears to know of John's troubles, and offers him a job - involving a mysterious trip to Brighton. He threatens that unless John takes it, the police will be informed of his connection with Samantha's death: John has no alternative but to accept. His companion on the trip is a frightened girl, Karen (Virginia Wetherell), a friend of Mendez.

At a Brighton flat John and Karen are greeted by two of Mendez's gang along with their girl-friends Cathy (Julie Shaw) and Jane (Jane Howard).They are then taken to a photographic studio and are stripped and photographed from all angles.

John overhears a telephone conversation in which plans are discussed to smuggle a deported gangster back into England. He also learns that he and Karen are being set up for a big switch-it is intended to bring the gangster and his wife into England by plane and then into a private nursing home where plastic surgery would transform them to resemble John and Karen, who would then be disposed of. Finally, John and Karen manage to escape but after a chase are eventually trapped in the ghost train on Brighton pier. After a bloody gun battle between Mendez and the police the whole operation is unmasked and John and Karen walk from the pier to resume their normal lives.
