A Genius Performance by Edward Petherbridge! Harriet Vane, on a walking tour of the coast comes accross the body of a man whose throat has been slashed from ear to ear. She has only recently been found "Not Guilty" in the case of Crown against Vane - for the poisoning of her boyfriend. There is clearly a feeling that she herself might be involved in the incident when the local Police discover who she is.
Fortunately her "saviour" in the previous trial, Lord Peter Wimsey, discovers her predicament and sets off to help her clear her name.
This story was wonderfully played by Edward Petherbridge, and Harriet Walters, in the TV adaptation. Here the "true" Lord Peter Whimsey performs the story with fantastic style!
