Further details

When Jacky and Tony are sent to clear out the flat of a recently deceased tenant they anticipate a day of ripping up mouldy carpets and removing old kitchen appliances and furniture to dump in a skip.

Instead, on entering the bedroom, they find it full of beautiful hand-crafted model boats. They are obviously too good to throw away and Jacky and Tony can't take them home with them.

Before they can come up with a plan, the solution arrives when an old woman friend of the deceased appears and asks if she can take one of the boats away as a memento. Jacky and Tony are only too happy to agree but as they watch the old woman walk away they are shocked to see her casually toss it into the skip!

When she returns later with a friend for the rest of the boats Jacky and Tony decide to get to the bottom of the mystery. The result is a comic scuffle, the destruction of several boats and the revelation of a dark secret... can Jacky, Tony and the boats come out in one piece!?
