Old Mr Barraclough is dead leaving a vast fortune to be split between his stepdaughters and his staff. However his body has been stolen, then both step daughters die in mysterious circumstances.

Everyone has a reason for wanting them dead due to the sisters' habit of bribery and blackmail, but who did it? The aggressive chauffeur? The victimised secretary? The dippy maid? The insane undertaker? Or the deaf and blind Doctor?
