Following the death of a colleague, Lomax is still seeking the people who framed him, whilst also looking for his son.
Lomax is roped into looking after a country B&B when the owner is suddenly called away. The B&B only has two guests, a married couple; the husband is on a weekend prison pass, and his wife is mixing with some dodgy characters, with a plan to relieve her husband of certain ill-gotten gains.
Lomax is working as a barman at a quiet country pub... Or so he thinks. He catches the eye of the local ladies who wine and dine, and also the attention of the local thugs. The latter decide to target the pub, the landlord and his wife, but they underestimate Max's resourcefulness to turn the tables.
Reunited with his son, Max and Steve have sailed downstream, where Max encounters a local businessman/gangster, during a game of snooker.
Winter: Lomax, holed up in remote farmland, becomes a suspect in a rustling case. He meets up with an ex-cellmate, Granny Jackson, who gives him a lead to the real thieves.
Lomax is coming closer to his accuser. A Fleet Street hack may be able to help, but most assistance comes from Lomax's girlfriend Maureen, who gives the name 'Len Martin', but Martin remains one step ahead.
Lomax at last catches up with Len Martin, the man who framed him, causing his prison sentence and eventual disgrace.
