This 90-minute Cadfael mystery gets under way when the lovely Iveta (Tara Fitzgerald) balks at the prospect of her arranged marriage to the wealthy and powerful Baron Huon. Amateur sleuth Brother Cadfael (Derek Jacobi) of Shrewbury Abbey is drawn in to the situation when both the Baron and Iveta's guardian are found dead. Who did it? And why did the Baron ride off to parts unknown on the day of his wedding? Adapted by Paul Pendar from the novel by Ellis Peters, "The Leper of St. Giles" was originally telecast in England on June 12, 1994, then subsequently aired on the American public-TV anthology series Mystery.
