The episode starts with Campion in a Sherlock Holmes costume by Inspector Oates.
Oates himself is being followed by a mysterious man before a lady comes to talk to Campion and the mysterious man runs off.
Campion is invited to stay with the Faradays. A strange eccentric out of date family living in a great mausoleum of a house that is run by the matriarch Caroline Faraday.
Her nephew Andrew a scholar who never worked had been missing for 10 days and then later found dead. Bound and shot.
Later someone else has been poisoned.
Again I found the first episode slow going. There are some acidic characters in this and a lovely appearance from Kulvinder Ghir as Mr Cheetoo an Indian student, he certainly has an aura of Sherlock about him.
