Synopsis
Celia Randolph, lonely and high-strung, is
struggling against the odds to continue running her small country
hotel. She is not helped by her charming and rakish step-son Rex.
Joan Mountstevens, a competent school-mistress, and her tear-away
young sister, Eva, are staying at the hotel, which represents
something of a romantic pilgimage for Joan who, after ten years,
still believes herself in love with Rex. Interference from her
attractive sister, jealousy of Celia, Rex's flirtations, all under
the watchful eyes of the charming ex-Intelligence Service Commander,
lead to a suicide (or is it murder?). The climax involves the aged
gardener and the country-bred maid in a case of mistaken identity
and mislaid cyanide. |
