Violet Hunter comes to Holmes and Watson for help in an unusual case: she's been offered a governess position, but the employer insists that she cut her beautiful chestnut hair. The position is odd in other ways, too - she has to wear an electric blue dress and sit by a window at certain hours of the day. The episode features a young Natasha Richardson, a lecherous and leering Joss Ackland, and a country estate named for trees that don't exist on it anymore.
