Murdoch and the Tramp: A carnival turns dour after a man falls to his death beside a vaudeville impresario. As Murdoch and Crabtree investigate, they meet Charlie Chaplin, a cocksure Englishman, who says the victim was an insult comic who tussled the previous night with performer Ed Ward. Ward claims Chaplin's friend Stan Laurel was also miffed, but Murdoch begins to suspect the intended victim was actually Mr. Chaplin.
