The police leap into action when a labourer at the Kirkbys' farm dies of strychnine poisoning, believing a killer is on the loose. As the finger of suspicion moves from one villager to another, the scene is set for tragedy. Meanwhile, the Ashfordly Rotary Club pensioners head for the seaside town of Whitby - but David's mangy mutt Alfred proves to be something of a liability
