[2] It is December 1899, at which time the reputations of Raffles and Bunny are ruined and they are secretly living in Ham Common.

They read in a magazine about the so-called Raffles Relics on display at the Black Museum at New Scotland Yard.

An enthusiastic young clerk arrives to give them a tour, though he is less knowledgeable than Raffles and Bunny on the museum's inventory, which includes the infamous cigarette box of two criminals who were never caught.

Raffles wonders about putting his relics to use again, but also speaks prophetically about the competing excitement that the ongoing war might soon offer them.

[4] The drama features Jeremy Clyde as Raffles and Michael Cochrane as Bunny.
