The clock is ticking for young spoilt brattish Lord Quentin Hartigan. He wants his inheritance from his father Oswald before he spends it all on vintage clocks.
There is a grand unveiling of Oswald's latest acquisition. Father Brown is invited. Brenda is working their part time as a maid and she has fallen for the young butler Jake.
Only for the clock to be stolen and Lord Quentin lying dead. Inspector Sullivan arrests a clock repairer called Stan who had an earlier altercation with Lord Quentin.
Father Brown noticed that Lord Quentin got a round a bit. He made lascivious glances at his younger stepmother. It looks like they were involved.
Also Jake the young butler has a lot to hide, he had an interest in the stolen clock.
This was a good mystery with Inspector Sullivan allowing Father Brown to go through his deductions because he was present at the time the crime happened.
I did wonder why Oswald married his bride when he never touched her.
