In a small English town a serial murderer is revealed to be reenacting the crooked man's poem. Is it a murderer or the crooked man himself?
The poem: There was a crooked man, who walked a crooked mile, he found a crooked sixpence, against a crooked stile, he bought a crooked cat, who caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together, in a little crooked house.
