It's 1971, and in between filming seasons of 'Floggit and Leggit!', ageing actors Edward Lowe and John Le Breton sign up for short run of Shakespearian tragedies at the Bolton Playhouse. But, once in Lancashire, they discover they have been invited to join the theatre's repertory company for two reasons - because the company manager is keen to take advantage of the publicity surrounding their successful BBC comedy series, and because Sir Nathaniel Thompson, the much-lauded star of the show and knight of the realm, has been sacked for drunkenness. John fears an awkward scene, should Thompson - who he knew during the war - return to reclaim his job, but when Thompson's body is found, bludgeoned to death in a nearby alleyway, this ceases to be an issue. Once more, the elderly thespian sleuths decide to investigate.
