Life is GOOD at Knottwood Police Station. Officer Donald Peter Haney has been promoted to INSPECTOR, and as sole head of Knottwood Division, he has just assigned himself the quiet, peaceful evening shift... ...which is turning out to be Not So Peaceful... It IS...

But when he arrives at Mrs. Goat's, the girls have FLED - leaving a TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION behind them! Inspector Don immediately phones the Hanbro farmhouse!

We are sorry to say, Inspector Don did NOT believe Nancy! Alas for his mood of complacency and self-satisfaction... Now comes undoubtedly one of the lowest points in Donald Haney's career... Yes. Isobel gets a NASTY shock! Yes, folks... SOME policemen's nasty suspicious minds occasionally take them a little too FAR... (But just who IS trashing the neighbourhood??? Something tells me he's VERY close to FINDING OUT...)
