The episode opens during recreation hour where Fletcher is playing Monopoly with elderly inmate Blanco Webb.
Fletcher comments that it is because Blanco has always protested his innocence, whereas the parole board would prefer him to be "guilty but ashamed".
On Saturday afternoon, Fletcher, Godber, Warren and Lukewarm start the Campaign for the Release of Old Webb (CROW).
Fletcher warns the Governor that the feeling is so strong, it could cause trouble for the prison officers, especially as Blanco has threatened to go on hunger strike in protest.
Fletcher says that the campaign could make the Governor a celebrity, but Mackay puts an end to the meeting and orders the prisoners out.
Barrowclough suggest to the Governor that an alternative to a retrial is for Blanco to receive a pardon from the Home Office.
Barrowclough passes this off as a forgery, but admits it is his signature, making him look foolish in front of Mackay and the Governor.
