Professor Hilary Ambrose (James Laurenson), after placing a pack addressed to Father Brown (Mark Williams) in a Royal Mail Box, discovers his home ransacked.

Hearing the sound of a classical piece being played on his record player, knowing he hadn’t left it playing on his departure from his residence, the professor knew there must be someone in his home. Soon thereafter, caught off guard, the professor is knocked out with a chloroformed rag and is subsequently kidnapped.

Meanwhile, at Kembleford’s Montague House, we find Father Brown, Mrs Bridgette McCarthy (Sorcha Cusack), Lady Felicia Montague (Nancy Carroll), and several other villagers witnessing Bishop Talbot (Malcolm Storry) praising Father Ignatius (Anton Lesser) for his devout duty to the Catholic Church. Father Ignatius, recognised by the bishop for his tireless efforts, is elevated to Monsignor.
