- Father Brown investigates the stabbing death of barmaid Sylvia Swan who was found near a henge known as the Standing Stones. When the police find a small pool of blood atop one of the stones this seems to be something far more sinister than a simple murder. Polio has struck in the village and Ginnie Godden, Stella's best friend and fellow barmaid, has her son in the hospital with the dreaded disease. Ginnie and Stella had a falling out and is arrested for the murder but Father Brown thinks the police have the wrong person in jail and sets out to find the true killer.—garykmcd
- Father Brown sets out to prove that nurse Ginnie Godden, whose own son is among the juvenile victims of a nearby village's recent polio outbreak, was wrongly arrested for the fatal stabbing after a public row of her best friend, barmaid Sylvia Swan, near the standing stones, which legend ascribes healing powers, especially at the approaching solstice. Brown is among several people in danger from the culprit, whom he rightly suspects criminally superstitious, but not alone.—KGF Vissers
