Calling Scotland Yard: Falstaff’s Fur Coat

Synopsis: Police detective-crime anthology series. Because of his luxurious fur coat, a hammy actor becomes involved with crooks. His coat resembles the one that a gang’s fence wears, and he is continually finding stolen jewellry in his coat pockets. When the gang learns that he is planning to turn the loot over to Scotland Yard, they go gunning for him and wound him while he is on stage performing ‘Falstaff.' And, although wounded, he continues with his performance while the police are apprehending the gunmen, believing that the show must go on. [Synopsis edited from IMDb entry].
