旁白: 本集讲述了1860年发生在英国威尔特郡罗德希尔庄园的萨维尔·肯特谋杀案。三岁的萨维尔·肯特被发现死在庄园的仆人厕所里，身上有多处伤口，包括颈部割伤、肋骨刺伤和嘴巴发黑。案件扑朔迷离，凶手身份成谜。侦探威彻受命调查此案，他首先怀疑的是保姆伊丽莎白·戈夫，因为在案发现场发现了一件女性紧身胸衣的衬垫，而伊丽莎白·戈夫的体型与之相符。然而，伊丽莎白·戈夫的证词前后矛盾，且她表现出的过度悲伤也让侦探威彻对其产生怀疑。随后，侦探威彻将目标转向了肯特先生的女儿康斯坦斯，他认为康斯坦斯因为不满父亲再婚，且可能患有遗传性精神疾病，所以杀害了萨维尔·肯特。侦探威彻的证据是康斯坦斯的一件睡衣失踪了，他推测康斯坦斯用这件睡衣作案，并伪造了洗衣记录。然而，这个理论在法庭上被驳回，康斯坦斯被无罪释放。多年后，康斯坦斯自首承认杀害了萨维尔·肯特，但她的供词也存在诸多疑点。 肯特夫人: 肯特夫人在案发后表示凶手就在屋内。 康斯坦斯: 康斯坦斯在五年后自首，承认自己因为不满父亲再婚，且受到撒旦的诱惑而杀害了萨维尔·肯特。她详细描述了作案过程，包括如何将萨维尔·肯特带到厕所，割喉、刺伤，并丢弃凶器等。
