Dr Lavington (Michael Aldridge) is a medical man of the soul.
While on holiday to try to write a book, he comes across articled clerk Jack Hartington. He looks tired, spooked even. Jack claims that while playing golf early in the morning he heard a woman shriek; "Murder! Help! Murder!"
There was a young French woman nearby but she claimed not to have heard anything.
This event was repeated again and Jack is worried, which is why he has sought Dr Lavington who is staying in the same hotel as him.
Jack also has an uncle staying at the village, whose house he goes to often. His uncle has a blue jar where they put the umbrellas in. However when a seance his held, the blue jar suddenly becomes bait.
This is a very wordy episode. It really is a matter of whether the noises are in Jack's head or it is a part of an elaborate scam? I think the direction could had been a bit more exciting. When it comes to it, it is Jack's uncle who works things out.
