A series of murders begins with the discovery of Robin, found with an arrow through his heart. Detective Philo Vance suspects the body was moved after death, as the circumstances seem staged. Each murder is linked to a nursery rhyme and marked with a note signed by 'Bishop'. The only potential witnesses, Mrs. Drukker and Adolph, refuse to speak.
