When Sir Piers Rookwood dies, a disputed marriage and a skeleton hand in the family vault raise the question of who is the true heir of Rookwood Hall. Gipsies, a grim sexton and a haunted line of ancestors all play their part, and among the company is a cheerful, swaggering highwayman who turns out to be Dick Turpin himself.
