A young woman, Marianne studying in her room is abducted and later held for ransom. She is Flambeau's estranged daughter. The man who is holding her is Nero Hound, a former associate of Flambeau.
With Queen Elizabeth II about to be crowned, the Vatican has sent a jewel encrusted cross as a gift from the Pope and this cross will tour the country before being presented to the Queen.
Father Brown realises that this cross will attract the attentions of Flambeau and so it does, Flambeau needs to steal the cross in order to free his daughter. However the cross is closely guarded with two high up Cardinals vying for a senior position in the Vatican.
An episode featuring Flambeau in Father Brown is always special and here we see his vulnerable side as he needs to rescue a daughter he knows little about but who is also a chip off the old block.
It is just a shame there is some dodgy green screen work in this episode when it comes a certain car scene. Guest star Roger Ashton- Griffiths also showcases an Italian accent that is on the hammy side.
