From London to Cornwall, then to Italy and France, a short, shabby priest takes on bandits, traitors, and killers. Why is he so successful?

Chesterton’s Father Brown stories from The Innocence of Father Brown with a full cast, music score, and sound effects.Included in Vol. 1:“The Blue Cross”Father Brown is traveling to London to attend a meeting of priests, and he is carrying with him a priceless silver cross, studded with blue sapphires.

How did the murderer escape?“The Queer Feet”Father Brown investigates a death at the Vernon Hotel.“The Flying Stars”Father Brown has been invited to a Christmas masquerade, which becomes the target of another robbery.
