content
England 1750: The country suffocates in crime. So King George is founding a new unit of crime fighters - His Majesty's Greyhounds under the command of Sir Roger Daley. In a short time, they will bring order to the streets of England. The only thing they don't get their hands on is the worst of all criminals, Dick Turpin . Therefore, Captain Desmond Fancey and Sergeant Jock Strapp are put on him. However they do it, Turpin always seems to be one step ahead.
What the two do not know - they are betrayed by someone they trust. Dick Turpin is none other than Reverend Flasher. But who would suspect him or his accomplice Harriett (Harry during the raids)? But Reverend Flasher is not without worries either. Not only does his housekeeper Martha Hoggett make advances to him, she's starting to get suspicious too.

The story is based on a British legend about the Robin Hood- like Dick Turpin . The story has been filmed several times to date.
