Another case for Chief Inspector Barnaby (John Nettles) and his loyal sidekick Sergeant Troy (Daniel Casey). The slashing of a royalist portrait at Apern Tallow museum results in Barnaby and Troy being called in to investigate, but this proves to be the prelude to a series of unnatural events. The church bells begin ringing in the night for no reason; a packing case in the museum spontaneously combusts; and a relative of the man in the portrait is found in his ancestor's grave after he has been beaten to death...
