While at choir practice for The Magic Flute Beryl Newsome is called away to the phone and murdered. Morse is first on the scene and unwittingly picks up a knife which later incriminates him.
Chief Inspector Bottomley is given the case and further evidence is discovered which suggests Morse murdered Beryl Newsome in a fit of jealous rage. Also Desmond McNutt's body is found in Morse's house. McNutt is a retired police detective who turned to the priesthood.
The investigation suggests Morse is being targeted by Hugo De Vries, a convicted con man who was sent to jail in Sweden. However, the computer records show he died in prison. So who is trying to destroy Morse?
This episode is simply brilliant.
