The final episode of the first series and the beauty contest comes to Slaughter Abbey.
The Miss United Britain contest is televised on the BBC. The last thing Commander Lowsley wants is murder. That just what has happened to one of the contestants, she is found dead in the swimming pool.
Fearing negative publicity the anachronistic Detective Chief Inspector Winner is brought down from Scotland Yard to solve the case. He is anachronistic in the sense that he acts like a 21st century London policeman. A sexist know it all who arrests the wrong person and thinks he has got his woman. The owner of a black stiletto, which was the murder weapon.
It is left to Sister Boniface and Sam to find the real killer. A destroyed card was a clue that a favourite for the contest was at risk for disqualification.
Winner was an arrogant antagonist. It looked like goodbye for Felix. The story has all the tropes of the beauty contests. The organiser who slept with the contestants, pregnancies and whether they demeaned women or not.
