Disc 1
THE MADE-TO-MEASURE MURDERS
On her way to confession, Milton Cross resident Sonia Woodley gets stabbed to death in the churchyard. As Barnaby and Jones investigate the gruesome case, they uncover new information about the death of her husband two years prior. While the detectives ponder what Sonia was so eager to confess, another villager is killed-and the coroner makes a startling discovery about the murder weapon.

Disc 2
THE SWORD OF GUILLAUME
Visiting Brighton with the Causton Chamber of Commerce, Barnaby becomes embroiled in a case of dubious real-estate deals, missing swords, and ancient family history. When Barnaby grows suspicious of the shady Causton mayor's motives for traveling to the seaside, he enlists the help of his cousin, Brighton's DCI John Barnaby. The detectives' investigation begins with a series of threatening letters to a wealthy landowner that quickly escalates to murder.

Disc 3
BLOOD ON THE SADDLE
Ford Florey's Wild West show becomes a grisly crime scene after a woman is shot and killed while working in the dunk tank. Barnaby and Jones discover that the victim's lover was Jack Fincher, an unpopular farmer involved in a longstanding dispute over a patch of land called "the Swamp." As the fight over the property intensifies, the cowboy killer claims another victim, and the detectives must race to uncover the Swamp's true owner.

THE SILENT LAND
Joyce believes that she hit someone with her car in March Magna-but no body is found.
