English crime tale. A husband decides to surprise his wife with some jewellery on their first wedding anniversary. On the suburban train on his way home he falls into conversation with a fellow traveller whose conversation is interesting and who manages to swap bags during the trip. Theft takes the place of the anniversary present. Light and cheery nevertheless. (PB)
