February, 1941:
Dashing surgeon Patrick Jamieson takes over Digby Manor to set up a pioneering medical unit treating burned airmen, but the doctors call in Foyle when their unconventional work appears to be being sabotaged. Foyle's pilot son Andrew is ordered to rest, but his stressful state of mind worsens when another airman suffers horrific burns in a crash. Then Drake, the man responsible for servicing the planes, is found dead and Andrew goes AWOL. Which of Drake's many enemies is the killer?
Dashing surgeon Patrick Jamieson takes over Digby Manor to house his medical unit treating burned airmen, but not everyone is happy with the situation. Sir Michael Waterford, a veteran of the last war and his housekeeper Mrs Roecastle are forced to leave their home, and military doctor Group Captain Lawrence Smythe disapproves of Patrick's brilliant but unconventional methods.
Det Chief Supt Christopher Foyle marks the anniversary of his wife's death with a visit to her grave, but his son Andrew, a spitfire pilot, doesn't turn up. He is told to take weekend leave after a heated argument with Drake, a lazy member of the RAF ground crew. Andrew goes out with Sam on a date but his mood does not improve.
Jamieson's protégé Dr Wrenn tells Foyle that someone is trying to sabotage their work at Digby Manor. He accuses Sir Michael, who also seems to have some difficult history with Drake. Meanwhile Smythe is getting increasingly incensed by Jamieson's unconventional attitude and threatens to close the unit. But as he leaves, a huge statue falls from the roof nearly crushing him.
Andrew is restless, especially when young airman Greville Woods is sent on a risky night flying mission instead of him. Then Greville crash lands Andrew's spitfire and suffers serious burns.
When the patients of Digby Manor perform a revue, Dr Wrenn appears looking muddy and shaken. Later that night Drake is found murdered nearby. His battered wife Beryl pleads her innocence, as does Dr Wrenn, who recently discovered his wife Mary was having an affair with Drake.
As Foyle and Milner hunt for the murderer, a cache of drugs go missing from the hospital. Then the case turns personal for Foyle when Andrew, who hated Drake, goes AWOL.
