The marriageable daughters of the upper crust howl in outrage when the rich and handsome Lewis Banfield marries an artist's model.

At the Banfield ball, someone poisons the new bride's champagne. Her husband is devastated as are her devoted family and friends. Inspector Witherspoon is on the case, but it's a tough one to crack. Luckily, Mrs. Jeffries and the household don't mind getting their hands a little dirty in order to uncover the web of hatred, greed, and envy behind the murder...
