Father Brown and Flambeau, now a private detective, arrive at Glengyle Castle in Scotland to help Inspector Craven of Scotland Yard solve the strange death and secretive burial of the late earl, a secluded man who lived as a hermit with his servant, the silent Israel Gow. The Earl died and was buried in secrecy by Gow. The clues to the crime, if there has been a crime, are large in number and baffling. What is behind these odd and mysterious events?

Both by calling and conviction Father Brown knew better than most of us, that every man is dignified when he is dead. But even he felt a pang of incongruity when he was knocked up at daybreak and told that Sir Aaron Armstrong had been murdered. There was something absurd and unseemly about secret violence in connection with so entirely entertaining and popular a figure. For Sir Aaron Armstrong was entertaining to the point of being comic; and popular in such a manner as to be almost legendary. Why, or more to the point, who killed Sir Aaron?
