After a bitter quarrel with his wife Jan (Christine
Slater), Stephen
(Alf Blunden) went on a bender,
picking up nightclub singer Grena (Carol Jewel) along the way. As the evening
progressed, Stephen was involved in a fracas in his own home, the aftermath of
which found Grena lying on the floor, apparently dead. With the imminent
return of Jan, Stephen tried to cover up the incident, however, his neighbour Matthew
(Nick Sparks), realised that something was amiss, decided to indulge in a little blackmail.
The ensuing complications include a most ambulatory "corpse" and a
misapplied glassful of poison |
