A young lady consults Holmes for advice: She's been offered an unusually high paying job, but the house is far in the country, and her employer has some odd requests about her hair and dresses. She doesn't want to cut her beautiful hair, of course, and is obviously wary about the odd requests, but the pay is too high to refuse. Holmes tells her that since she's already made up her mind, there's not much for him to do. However, things take a sinister turn quickly.
The premise is very similar to The Solitary Cyclist story, and the episode is similarly mediocre. Joss Ackland and Natasha Richardson are great, though, it's worth watching just for the sake of them. Of course, saying " Joss Ackland is great" is redundant, has there ever been a performance of his that's not great?
