Michael Bryant is the arrogant and too clever by half clergyman the Reverend Justin Somerton. Together with his young aristocratic assistant Peter (Paul Lavers) they try to solve Latin riddles to find the Abbot's fortune in an old Abbey.
Only the Abbot might not have wanted his fortune found. The Reverend afterwards seems to be disturbed and crept out by some slime that follows him about.
Although this had an interesting opening. The way the Reverend exposed the seance as a sham. It loses its way and feels drawn out.
The big problem is that the story is too similar to another M R James story, A Warning To The Curious. That was a better adapted ghost story. This is dull by comparison.
