Synopsis
Jeff Randall is commissioned by the manager of a substantial estate to look into incidents involving bird shootings within the manor's aviary and to safeguard prized avian specimens. The estate, valued at more than £2 million, is set to be passed down to relatives, who begin to perish sequentially, reducing the pool of suspects until Jeff identifies the perpetrator. Encountering a lethal snare, Randall's life is spared thanks to Marty Hopkirk, who delivers an enigmatic supernatural message to Jeannie Hopkirk during a social gathering.
