- Mrs McCarthy and Lady Felicia are held hostage by a bumbling pair of train robbers.
- Returning to Kembleford by train from an evening at the theater, Lady Felcia and Mrs McCarthy travel in style with opera diva Bianca Norman, her two adopted (but by now adult) children and her fifth husband. The train gets robbed by two not overly bright robbers, and lady Felicia and Mrs. McCarthy are taken hostage. When the police arrive, Bianca Norman appears to be shot. Inspector Mallory goes on his usual rampage trying to find someone to blame. Father Brown and Bunty are very concerned about their missing friends. Meanwhile, the kidnappers already regret having abducted the ladies. Things get very confusing when it turns out that neither of them has shot the diva. A third shooter must have been present. Lady Felicia convinces the two culprits to put their faith in Father Brown.
- Opera diva Bianca Norman is fatally shot by two jewel robbers in the first class compartment of the train returning from the rain with her unharmed fifth showcase husband Piers Huntington and adult adopted children Tony and Barbara. The thieves escape, taking as hostages the other passengers, countess Felicia and Mrs. McCarthy, who are clumsily chained up in their farm cellar. The two nearly escape, thanks to lady Felcii's bobby pin escape artistry, but see the robbers without masks after finding their wheelchair-stuck brother, who is unpleasantly surprised his siblings compromise his ambition to study law by breaking it so bluntly. Inspector Mallory mobilizes all forces to search for the aristocrat but only learns where to send his dangerously armed rescue team after father Brown, whom he banned from the train site, and Bunty found clues after sergeant Goodfellow sneaked them in. By the time they arrive at the farm, the ladies have taken over the bachelor household, reformed the louts and worked out a story to change their future for the better unpunished, victimizing only the truth, which father Brown, who got a cryptic message, considers dropping as well in favor of the actual murderer he interviewed privately.—KGF Vissers
