When the charming Master of a New Age commune is prematurely transported into the Other World, a riotous murder takes off. It's up to Chief Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy to sort through the tangled relationships.

Inspector Tom Barnaby investigates the disappearance of a woman from an English village, an apparent abduction for ransom. The case gets a new twist when her husband commits suicide--that is, if it was indeed suicide.

When the Causton Amateur Dramatic Society performs Amadeus, the character Salieri slits his own throat. When the actor playing Salieri actually dies in the play, Barnaby is on the case.
