When Robin is discovered dead with an arrow piercing his heart, detective Philo Vance quickly realizes the body was staged at the crime scene. A cryptic nursery rhyme signed by 'Bishop' accompanies the murder, hinting at a deeper connection. As more victims fall, each death echoes a line from a nursery rhyme. With Mrs. Drukker and Adolph as potential witnesses, their silence complicates Vance's investigation. Racing against time, he must piece together the clues to reveal the elusive murderer behind the chilling rhyme-themed killings.
