Frank starts work as a free man for Kenrick's, a local building firm. His first day at work goes fairly smoothly but he is still adjusting to life outside prison. Back at his lodgings he is well-looked after by Mrs. Mortimer but is resistant to mixing with the other parolee Enright. This is despite the efforts of the urbane Enright, a disqualified solicitor, to make contact. Enright (Peter Cellier) tries to break the ice with Frank but it's tough going.
Eventually Enright persuades Frank to visit the local pub. At the bar he spots a burly biker, Harry, trying to perform a con-trick on the unsuspecting landlord. He and his mate Frank had successfully pulled the same stunt on a cafe owner earlier in the day. Frank warns the landlord, causing Harry to react violently, attacking him. The two rockers storm out, Enright unable to stop them. Frank's intervention did save the landlord some money, and he is grateful, but all concerned are shaken.
That is not the end of the matter. On leaving the pub the two bikers roar past Marker and Enright on their machines. Later on they rev' menacingly outside his digs. Much worse follows though the next day when they find Frank repairing a wall on the seafront.
