While Joyce Barnaby joins a painting society, her husband DCI Barnaby is concerned with Operation Pondlife, a local initiative designed to clamp down on bag snatching. When Joyce finds the body of Ruth Fairfax, an elderly lady who is part of her art class, almost as soon as she is identified DCI Barnaby is pulled off the case replaced by members of the National Intelligence Squad. At first Troy is dazzled by the visiting detectives who take him under their wing, but eventually he becomes disillusioned and helps Barnaby solve the case.
