It is the time of Edward the Confessor and the Lord in Coventry feels free to tax every enterprise in the town. His wife Godiva promises to ride naked through the city at high noon if he will repeal the latest tax increase. Out of respect for this female martyr, all the villagers remain inside with their shutters closed while she makes her ride. Thomas however, peeks. His wife knocks him down and he is blinded. When Godiva's husband demands proof that Godiva rode naked, Thomas at last comes forward and confesses that he peeked. His blindness is attributed to divine wrath. Soon he regains his sight, but he goes to Canterbury as a pilgrim and pretends a miracle. At home again, his wife makes a fortune selling his mead by advertising it as made by "Peeping Tom". <1h>Language:EnglishNotes:Genre:DRAMADetailed holdings information: -
