A major golfing tournament has brought huge crowds to Jersey - along with washed up ex-golf pro Eddie St Pierre (Patrick Mower). St Pierre & Bergerac have a history and the tension between them is not improved when St Pierre makes a move on Francine (Cécile Paoli). A golfing friend of Charlie Hungerford (Terence Alexander) suffers a burglary at his mansion on the island. To add insult to injury the criminals make good their escape in the victim's own boat! Despite a high profile police operation the burglars soon strike another property, this time Charlie's, during which he is knocked unconscious. It becomes clear that St Pierre has a criminal past and links with several wealthy Jersey residents - and their wives. In particular he rekindles an old romance with Anne Beresford (Sarah Douglas), the wife of a prominent businessman. An insurance assessor who has intimate knowledge of the properties that have been robbed is seen accepting money from St Pierre and arrested. Bergerac thinks he has his man and lays a trap with the help of Anne Beresford but St Pierre does not show. When Bergerac finally catches up with him on the ferry to the mainland none of the stolen property is found in his van and St Pierre is sent on his way. Little do the Bureau des Estrangers know that he his closely followed by his new accomplice, Anne Beresford, with a Range Rover full of stolen property. You can't catch them all, Jim.
