Bert Cole is campaigning for a youth curfew in Mt Thomas, until he is found dead - wearing women's clothing.
When Maggie and Dash go to inform the local wowser, Bert Cole, that his shop has been vandalised, they find him dead and in drag! His house has also been burgled and his cause of death is unknown. PJ and Maggie must determine whether Bert Cole's death was due to natural causes or if it was murder. Tony Timms gets wind of the unusual circumstances surrounding Cole's death and harasses Tom looking for a story. Meanwhile, Dash discovers a room in Cole's house full of make up and women's clothes, but in a number of sizes. It's clear that there must be others that cross dress with Cole. Maggie stumbles onto Cole's video collection during the search. The tapes feature a small boy at Kindergarten - is Cole a child molester too?
PJ comes across a young man trying to sell stolen goods. He has in his possession the television removed from Cole's house and his address book. However, the burglar denies taking the video camera. PJ discovers that the man is Cole's son in law, Johnnie Baxter, and that he was attempting to blackmail Cole. Johnnie claims that his father in law was already dead when he arrived, but did he murder Cole when he wouldn't pay up?
PJ tracks down the other cross dressers that met at Bert Cole's house. It seems that one of them was the last person to see Cole alive. Was there a falling out, was their blackmail within the club, or it was it a crime of passion? Perhaps the missing video camera will provide PJ with the clue he needs to solve the mystery.
Meanwhile, Adam's back in the station awaiting the outcome of the inquest into David Allenby's death. He is anxious to resume duties but will the result mean the end of his career?
