Details

Summary
When the twelfth Earl of Gurney inadvertently dies while pretending to hang himself dressed in a Napoleon hat and a tutu, a problem ensues because the heir believes he is Christ. While it is natural for a member of the ruling class to think himself all powerful, the family thinks this is a bit much. What can they do to get control of the enormous fortune? Their schemes backfire when the thirteenth Earl realizes he is not Christ, he is Jack the Ripper.
