Barnaby and Jones are sampling the local cider at Midsomer Abbas spring fair when the body of a missing tax inspector is found floating in the cider vat. Meanwhile, publican Samuel Quested says that he wants to restore an ancient rite called the Stag in which men go in search of women from another village in order to 'refresh the gene pool'. As Barnaby and Jones investigate the murder, they uncover family secrets and an array of possible motives. Can they stop the killer from carrying out his final act of violence?
