The hideous Walsingford Hall is home to an odd assortment of coves. The vile premises belong to Sir Buckstone, who is in a little financial difficulty. So for a little monetary help he puts a roof over the heads of people like (among others) Tubby Vanringham, the adoring slave of the coldhearted Miss Whittaker. His brother Joe has fallen head over heels for Sir Buck s daughter Jane. She, however, only has eyes for Adrian Peake, who has already formed a liaison with the terrifying but superbly wealthy Princess Dwornitzchek. Is there no end to the confusion?"
