Spiritual medium Openshaw is so removed from real life that he confuses a military alarm with a signal from the other world. Father Brown returns the professor to reality and the problems of modern life. Based on the "The Blast of the Book" short story from "The Scandal of Father Brown" stories collection, written in 1935 by Gilbert K. Chesterton.
