Inspector Colbeck's sixth outing takes him to South Wales to investigate a murder at the Railway Hotel and the theft of a silver coffee pot in the shape of a locomotive. Key witnesses are members of a touring theatre company performing Macbeth at the Theatre Royal in Cardiff. When the leading lady suddenly vanishes, it seems as if the Scottish play has brought disaster to yet another troupe. As the crimes multiply, Colbeck and Sergeant Leeming have to dash to and fro on the railway system. Even though they have the assistance of Jeremiah Stockdale, the town's chief constable, their efforts are nevertheless hampered at every turn. When they finally run the villains to ground, they are in for a great shock.
