The day-to-day life of Aidensfield is full of surprises for Constable Nick -- a frightened lady who hides in her garden shed; a wronged wife who wreaks vengeance upon an unfaithful husband and a local posse of menfolk who hunt down a thief who is stealing ladies' underwear. Not forgetting Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, who finds it cache of silver coins. There is serious crime too. A convicted murderer comes to the village, and Nick and Sergeant Blaketon have a major problem on their hands when they hear that an escaped Great Train Robber is hiding on Nick's patch.
