Another episode of Van der Valk looking at the sleazy side of Amsterdam.
When a dead body turns up from the canal. Kroon and Van der Valk notice that the man is well groomed and well dressed. They conclude he must had been gay and take bets as to which nationality he is.
It turns out that the man was a member of the English upper class and his mother is politician is due in Holland to take part in some diplomatic talks. However when she sees the dead body she refuses to identify him as her son, even when Van der Valk gets further proof of his identity.
Van der Valk and Kroon make a tour of the city's clubs and bars in the red light district as the theme plays on. It seems the deceased was known to the transvestite community.
Van der Valk finds that the deceased's aunt might know more about this matter. A rather seamy episode about a family with many dark secrets.
