Secret filming and a musical performance are instrumental in the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department sending a postman to prison after making a grossly exaggerated personal injury claim, while the stage beckons for one chancer who is caught on CCTV pulling off the performance of a lifetime with a theatrical fall into a pothole.
