The premise
Here’s the bit.
After the fiend strikes again outside the Hippodrome stage door, Inspector Corner and Sergeant Bowles suspect that the asylum around the corner may be his hiding place. Their room-by-room search interrupts a run of quick doctor-and-patient gags without turning up the culprit, so the pair take a cab to the cemetery, where the inspector notices that his sergeant has suddenly changed. Left alone among the gravestones, Corner is ambushed by the cloaked Phantom and ends the episode bloodied and beaten once more.

But if he thinks I'm daft enough to believe he's mad, he's crazy.

Notes from the archive.
IMDb credits David Rowlands as a second Bowles in this episode; Stephen Calcutt, credited as the Phantom, had earlier played a Transylvanian in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
