The annual Portwenn Players Dance is a highlight of the village's social calendar. Louisa invites Martin, but the doctor turns her down. Martin also pays a visit to a park ranger who believes he lives with a six-foot squirrel.

When a village woman dies at home, the husband accuses Martin of murder and takes out his anger on Martin's aunt Joan. The doctor also makes inept attempts to rekindle his friendship with Louisa.
