Summary

Pathe synopsis: The Thames River Police are often called upon to do work which, though lacking in excitement perhaps, is nevertheless of vital importance in the non-stop war against crime. Every patrol launch they use is equipped with drags, grappling irons and powerful magnets for example - illustrated in this reconstruction of the search for a missing revolver.
