The building where Stewart lives is partially destroyed by a high-explosive bomb, and Foyle, there to check on her, soon learns of the theft of valuables from the damaged building. Now homeless, she bunks temporarily with Milner, until his wife comes home one night unexpectedly, forcing Stewart to sleep in a police cell. Foyle also investigates the apparent suicide of an alcoholic handyman, Richard Hunter, who has Oxford University ties to a visiting American millionaire, Howard Paige. Complicating matters, Hunter's son Kenneth appears connected to a gang of auxiliary firefighters, who are secretly looting bombed-out houses. Meanwhile, Hans Maier, a "Dutch refugee", is found, but when he turns out to be a German spy he faces execution. Surprisingly his cousin, the wife of the local doctor, lives nearby and seems complicit in his arrival. In the end, Foyle's investigations reveal the truth behind Paige's complicity in both stealing Hunter's synchromesh concept and in his murder. Stopped by Paige's minder from arresting the American, who is responsible for convincing the U.S. to supply arms to the U.K., Foyle vows to bring Paige to justice after the war. This episode introduces Foyle's former love, Elizabeth Lewes, whom he had intended to marry but was declined permission by her father some 20 years ago. Later, true to his word, in "The Eternity Ring" (Series 7, Episode 1), Foyle returns from America after confronting Paige.
