The setting for this comedy murder mystery is as creepy an old library as you’re likely to come across, presided over by a portrait of a maniacal old man. There, a grim faced lawyer delivers the details of a will, bequeathing several million pounds to the various members of an equally sinister family. One is kept in the cellar because of his were wolf tendencies; another wanders around in a toga believing himself to be Julius Caesar, whilst a third is an apparently gentle old lady who makes interesting home-made wine and plants more than seeds in her flower beds!
