Episode Info
One evening whilst wandering the streets of Kensington with Bunny, Raffles, who is becoming blase about the ease with which he is able to steal from the well-heeled, acts on the spur of the moment and breaks into a house while the owners are actually present.
By an odd coincidence he finds that he has chosen the house of an old flame of his, a long lost love who is very unhappily married. He is discovered by this lady in the act of stealing her jewellery, but she confesses to Raffles that she still loves him, and wants him to go away with her.
Raffles still loves the lady, but he also loves his life at London's Albany, and playing cricket for England, and stealing diamonds.
Raffles must find a way of maintaining the status quo.
