Dolly Rawlins has served her eight years and is due for her release from Holloway Prison. Ester Freeman has a plan to get the money from the diamonds Dolly hid away after the nightclub robbery and she invites other ex-convicts to the Grange Health Farm to get them in on the plan. Audrey Withey, Shirley Miller's mother, blames Dolly for Shirley's death during the raid, and tells her son, D.S. Mike Withey, to try to get her for the diamond robbery, but later tells him she has the diamonds herself. Dolly tells the women that her dream is to build a home for unwanted children and battered wives. Ester makes Dolly an offer to buy the house – and Dolly contacts the fence.
