The amiable aristocratic crooks of BREATH OF SPRING are at it again. BRIGADIER RAYNE deploys his charity campaigns with military expertise but little monetary success until NAN is passed a mink coat by a crook on the run. This inspires BRIGADIER RAYNE and his cohorts to become modern Robin Hoods, and soon they are running a meticulously organised receiving system for stolen furs, giving all their profits to charity. Gradually, operations become more and more dangerous. Finally, with the house full of furs, hidden in musical-instrument cases 'borrowed' from the Albert Hall, and a police inspector making enquiries, they decide to retire - temporarily.
