Plot[]
Karen Lomax becomes hysterical as the residents search for Jason. Elsie and Annie take charge. Annie blames herself. The police are called in. They contact the army to help with the search. Colin is catatonic. Detective Inspector Patterson finds out that Elsie was the last one to see Jason before he was snatched. He thinks Jason was awake at the time. A policewoman sits with Karen. Patterson asks the residents if there's anyone local who might be capable of snatching Jason but they're reluctant to name people. Ena is shocked when she is summoned from the Preston Guild. Minnie goes with her as she is led into a police car.

Notes[]
- All the scenes at the Preston Guild were shot on film at the Industries Exhibition which took place in Moor Park, Preston and, with just a couple of exceptions, were without dialogue but with differing tracks of incidental music. The final one of these, a banjo arrangement, was played over the closing credits in place of Eric Spear's theme music.
- TV Times synopsis: Ena's day out ends in a police car.
