This episode starts with a kidnapping, where the criminal abducts a girl, replacing her with a speaking doll. When Detective Murdoch tests the doll's speech, he discovers a message intended for him. This is the first of a series of challenges for Murdoch to solve.
As each puzzle is dealt with, so the successive puzzles become harder, requiring all of Murdoch's ingenuity and even requiring the help of Alexander Graham Bell with his specialist audio equipment. Several innocent victims become caught up in the dastardly scheme, and even when Murdoch catches up with the criminal, there is still one victim whom Murdoch must race to save.
This is a satisfying episode with a series of problems to be solved, and justice seen to be done. There is, however, a twisty tail with more than one matter left outstanding.
Roll on the next episode!
