The story

The calm of a peaceful English village is shattered when a series of anonymous letters starts being delivered to village homes, containing scurrilous allegations about the recipients and their families. Upstanding and respectable inhabitants find themselves and their loved ones accused in lascivious detail of all manner of moral, sexual and criminal misdeeds. The Reverend Rider and his sister Mary attempt to defuse the increasing consternation of the villagers by pointing out that the letters should be ignored as the malicious nonsense they are.
