Summary
Bedridden and ailing for several years, it was no surprise when death came to wealthy dowager Edwina Black. The late Mrs. Black, however, will not be mourned by most of the community in the small English village where she resided certainly not by her henpecked husband Gregory, the town's schoolmaster, nor her female companion Elizabeth, both of whom are relieved at finally being free to express their love after conducting a not-so-secret affair for some time. But when the town doctor conducts a post-mortem, death by natural causes is ruled out as he found large traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. Inspector Martin of Scotland Yard suspects that the couple engaged in a bit of foul play and patiently plays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of implicating them in the crime. Ellen (Jean Cadell), Edwina's fiercely loyal housekeeper, also figures in and makes no secret of her contempt for the two lovers and their likely roles in the death of her mistress
