Windsor, England: the Winthrop House Mission often takes in down-and-outs for medical checks; but when one such tramp wanders into the office of Doctor Pederson and catches sight of two figures with completely-bandaged heads, he is then shot dead. Tremayne assigns Craig and Sharron to investigate an escape route for internationally-wanted criminals; posing as a Mafia gangster and his girlfriend, the two agents manage to infiltrate the Mission, and learn that Pederson gives his patients plastic surgery to help them to escape justice. But when Sharron is taken to receive her face-altering operation, Craig and Richard find that they have very little time to rescue her...
