Synopsis
The medieval village of Tintinhull is robbed at midnight by a gang of thieves.
The village constable and his family are soon suspected of betraying their
community. The next day the villagers try to go about their work, but anger and suspicion over the unsolved robbery boils over. Accusations and arguments lead to fights and brawls. The constable’s twins, William and Emily, try to solve the crime before their family is harmed and their manor descends into poverty and chaos.
