After spending 5 years in prison, for a crime committed by a brother he never knew existed, Doug decides to track down the man who framed him. In the process, Doug became a highly respected inspector with Scotland Yard.

When the brothers finally met, Doug became determined to track down his mysterious look alike.

Eventually, Doug managed to convince Rod to go straight, and the two of them battled crime together.
