In hospital with a broken leg, Lovejoy delegates Lady Jane and Tinker to sell a terra cotta Chinese pig to a Chinese banker. It turns out to be a forgery and gets broken, revealing its contents, a valuable medieval Chinese bank note. But this might also be a forgery so Lovejoy makes use of micro-surgery to examine another pig, one of several in the possession of choleric dealer and possible swindler Sir Desmond Clark. Meanwhile Eric meets fellow biker, the lovely Natasha, with whose help he sells his motor-cycle as having been the property of Lawrence of Arabia.
