Short summary

Detective Murdoch faces an unusual case when the desiccated body of a man falls through the ceiling of the Grand Theater and onto the stage during a performance of Macbeth. Using dental records, the body is identified as that of Virgil Smart, the former owner of the theater who had died a year ago. Problem is, Smart is supposed to be buried and when they re-open his grave, they find the body of an unknown man. Murdoch suggests that Dr. Ogden attempt a facial reconstruction to identify the body. When Murdoch and Crabtree find a hidden room off Smart's office, a love nest, they believe they've found the site of his murder.

This episode takes place in 1895.

When refers to singing pirates, he is obviously referring to the then popular "Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan, which premiered in New York in 1879.

When Crabtree looks at the alternating letters and spaces, he remarks that it might make a wonderful game. He seems to be referring to 'Hangman."
