The Story: An intriguing cadre of characters meet at The Hollow, the English country estate of Sir Henry (Scott Parker) and Lucy (Georgia Cacy Mitchell) Angkatell for a relaxing weekend. Dr. John Cristow (Grant Turner) and his milquetoasty wife Gerda (Lucy Paschall) are among the guests. Other attendees include the sculptress Henrietta (Melissa Whitney), John's secret mistress; bookish Edward (Nathan P. Gale), enamoured with Henrietta; and plucky Midge (Brenan Dwyer), desirous of Edward. All are served by the ever discreet butler, Gudgeon (John Morrison) and the coquettish maid, Doris (Bonnie Auguston).

At cocktails, before dinner, a stranger arrives. She is Veronica Craye (Christy Bigelow), a vivacious Hollywood movie star, who astounds everyone by claiming that Dr. Cristow was her former lover. A mood of jealousy, hatred and intrigue soon colors the happy gathering before a startling gun shot rings out. It's obvious why the victim was killed, but who did it? Was it the loyal family butler? The visiting starlet? The jealous not-quite boyfriend? Only one person knows for sureŠthe killer.

Into the scene enters Inspector Colquhoun (Gary Powell) and Sergeant Penny (Sean Knight) to solve a murder where nearly everyone had a motive and the opportunity to kill the victim.
