The year is 1915, and the sinking of the Lusitania has intensified the anti-German sentiments in England. Among those affected are the servants at Eaton Place, who discover that one of their favorite tradesmen was born in Germany. When the man's store is burned and his family is beaten up, Hazel (Meg Wynn Owen) discovers that the principal source of the hostility towards the victim was her own head butler Hudson (Gordon Jackson), whose reasons are not entirely borne of patriotism. Written by Jeremy Paul, "The Beastly Hun" was first telecast in England on September 28, 1974, and in America on January 18, 1976. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
