When a flood threatens to engulf Shrewbury Abbey, the monks quickly remove all the sacred objects, including the precious relics of St. Winifred. After the deluge, it is discovered that those relics have been stolen. While trying to solve the crime, Brother Cadfael (
Derek Jacobi) must protect the truth about the relics (which he uncovered in the previous
Cadfael episode "A Morbid Taste for Bones"). He must also discern the link between the robbery, the kidnapping of a slave girl (
Louise Delamere), the horrible confessions of a penitent monk (
Julian Firth), and a thread of fabric found upon a corpse. Adapted by
Ben Rostul from the novel by
Ellis Peters, the 90-minute
Cadfael drama "The Holy Thief" originally aired in England on June 23, 1998, and shortly thereafter was seen in America as part of
PBS'
Mystery anthology.
