Interior

Hilarity and music, two murders and a seance denouement brighten this lively adaptation of the classic comedy thriller. The aristocratic, daffy mistress of a tea plantation in British India that was managed by her murdered husband is plagued by wacky nephews who scheme to inherit the estate by various means: having her committed to an institution or doing her in by hiding a poisonous spider on her hat. The situation changes when a solicitor brings news that Lady Hester has actually inherited the plantation on the demise of her father. When a glamorous investigator arrives with a psychic from Texas, comedy reigns while the nephews are unmasked.
