- Lady Felicia's impromptu visit coincides with Father Brown helping out a friend at an exclusive gentlemen's club.
- Brenda Palmer, whom Father Brown met at a girls reformatory, asks help after being accused of theft by Jasper Granford, who owns the gentlemen's club she worked at. Lady Felicia and Mrs Devine, to whom she takes an instant dislike as poor replacement for McCarthy, decide to accompany them, but make a scene to protest at no ladies being allowed, except on staff. Father Brown quickly discovers the real culprit is Granford's own son, party animal Albert 'Bertie'. Jasper is murdered and his safe robbed, Inspector Sullivan arrests Bertie who is desperate for money for an illegitimate child, Brown promises to find out the truth. Father Brown and friends uncover that club member colonel Partridge disappeared leaving behind his bloody jacket, club manager John Harrow was bankrupted by Jasper like many firms he acquired, and Jasper's wife Charlotte felt abused by him. Brenda is befriended by night cleaner Moira, who worked in a theatre Granford bankrupted, teaching her to juggle. The jacket's odor of candle-wax and turpentine inspires Brown to work out the 'inexistant' culprit. Brenda becomes Father Brown's housekeeper.—KGF Vissers
