Synopsis

In this murder mystery, Jeff Randall is hired by a large estate manager to investigate a series of bird shootings in the manor aviary and to keep guard of the valuable birds. On the death of the birds the over £2 million estate will be shared among the family, but each member of the family is killed off gradually narrowing down the suspects leaving Jeff with the surprising culprit. Randall is nearly killed in an intricate trap, but Marty Hopkirk once again saves the day — this time by affecting a paranormal game of letters to spell a cryptic message to Jeannie Hopkirk at a party.
