"You Can Always Find a Fall Guy" is the twenty fifth episode of the popular 1969 ITC British television series Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) starring Mike Pratt, Kenneth Cope and Annette Andre. The episode was first broadcast on 6 March 1970 on the ITV. Directed by Ray Austin.

Arriving home after a long night, Jeff is greeted by a nun at his apartment. The nun proceeds to tell Jeff that she believes her convent's funds are being diverted by a recently employed accountant - Douglas Kershaw. Jeff reluctantly agrees to look into the case, and arranges to meet the nun at the convent the following night.

With Marty in tow, he is met at the convent gates by the nun, who hands him a sealed envelope containing the account figures of the convent. Unbeknownst to Jeff, the nun replaces a sign for the convent with another sign - one for an electronics company. Before leaving, Jeff and Marty hear an alarm and then guard dogs. Jeff decides to leave, but before he can he is blocked in the drive by the Security Officer and sent to the office of Philip Yateman, where he tries to explain his reasons for being on the premises. Yateman decides to hold Jeff overnight, but, when attention is diverted by Marty, Jeff is able to escape. Jeff manages to retrieve the envelope he had earlier thrown away and opens it to find only newspaper cuttings.

The next morning Jeff is met in his car by the Security Officer - Edwards. Believing that the envelope contains important information Edwards offers a deal to Jeff, not believing that the envelope contained only newsprint. After the meeting, Jeff decides to visit Douglas Kershaw. He refuses to divulge any information to Jeff - merely saying he is a dealer in information.
