    Turtle opens the first of the safe deposit boxes. Its owner is a crooked gentleman named Bullitt who runs a protection racket with publicans as his victims, and there is enough evidence in the box to put him away for several years. Turtle, who is very fond of publicans, plans to turn the tables on him.

  • Episode 2Box Two50 min

    Turtle and Eddie's next hoard contains, in Supt. Rafferty's words, "skeletons from cupboards, dynamite, and the dirt from under a lot of carpets." And they would rather not be in posession of a war-hero general's last will and testament - particularly when his throat-cutting ex-colour sergeant shows up.

  • Episode 3Box Three50 min

    Turtle and Eddie find themselves in posession of papers belonging to Al Shapiro, one of the most ruthless contract assassins in the business. With enough incriminating evidence to earn him life sentences in several countries, the pair are handling something more dangerous than dynamite!

  • Episode 4Box Four50 min

    Box number four is the property of one Ras Patel, a vicious property racketeer who is exploiting poverty-stricken Asian immigrants while running a highly corrupt empire in his native country. Turtle quickly sees an opportunity to perform a philanthropic deed - at no cost to himself.

  • Episode 5Box Five50 min

    Shocks for Turtle and Razor Eddie - Rafferty announces on television that he has one of the first real leads on the case of the missing deposit boxes: jewels belonging to the lovely socialite, Elspeth Partington-Jeffries. Then, Turtle learns that they are fakes.
