Fletch is finally released - after getting his coat stuck in the prison gates - and on the train home meets Mr. Mackay, who, after a few drinks, tells him he will soon have to retire and is off to London to look for a new job. Two men get on the train - Oaksey, known to Fletch, and the more military type, Tanner. The pair have robbed a jewellers and think they can persuade Fletch to mind the bag, so if they are arrested (as they were) there will be no evidence. However, a misunderstanding leaves Mackay believing the bag is temporarily his, having agreed with Tanner to take it to an address in London as part of his new "job." Therefore the on-train detective ignores it during his search, once Mackay has assured him it's nothing to do with Fletch. Eventually Fletch & Mackay shake hands and leave the bag to be discovered by cleaners.
