Joe then telephones Nightingale, who then rescues Miss Davis. After following her home, the boys tie her up. Norman then tells the kids about Rhona Davis (Valerie White) who also works at the Trump. At the store, Joe's gang think they have overpowered the thieves but it is really the police, who have been tipped off anonymously. Here Joe meets Norman and together they work out the code from the next issue - 'Tattoo Jack's’ plan to rob an Oxford Street department store. Joe tells the police but nobody listens so he visits the offices of the Trump. He sees the criminals are using the codes from the comic to communicate their plans but, fearful of the gang, Wilkinson refuses to aid the boys. Joe and Alec find Wilkinson's house, find out the comic's editions are being manipulated and tell Wilkinson. To find out more they visit the comic's writer, Felix Wilkinson ( Alastair Sim). Joe says he thinks criminals are planning jobs via the Trump. Later, in a hideout in a bombed-out building, Joe's friends tease him about the incident, until another boy says he saw a truck with GZ 4216 plate that morning. Ford sends Joe to meet a Covent Garden grocer, Nightingale ( Jack Warner), for a job. A policeman, Inspector Ford, tells Joe to stop letting his imagination run wild. Jago catches Joe and calls the police but he does not press charges. Joe gets a friend to distract Jago so he can search the crates. Even the truck number plate-GZ 4216-matches the comic. While reading one part of the latest story, Joe finds the comic adventure being repeated exactly in real life when he comes across two men carrying a crate (Joe thinks it contains corpses) into Mr Jago's fur shop. He then buys a copy so he can follow the adventures of fictional detective Selwyn Pike. Following church choir practice in 1946 east London, Joe Kirby ( Harry Fowler) reads aloud to his gang (The Blood and Thunder Boys) from the Trump boys' comic, but finds a page missing.
