After a few convivial drinks, George Petworth convinces his friend Timothy to accept a foolish bet - can he break into George's uncle's house and steal something without being caught? But after breaking into the wrong house, Timothy gets more than he bargained for when he stumbles upon a dead body in the study. Luckily for him, the police believe his story - for now. But it is only by discovering the real culprit that Timothy will be able truly to clear his name. Meanwhile, Colonel Chedder of the local constabulary is hot in pursuit of a kidnapped woman. Could the murder and the kidnapping be connected? And if so, how?
