Roger Masters has a deadly habit — he kills elderly women after winning their confidence and steals their fortunes. American widow Laura is supposed to be his next victim.
Butler Roger Masters bringt alleinstehende Frauen trickreich dazu, ihm ihr Vermögen zu vermachen. Mit der Unterschrift besiegeln diese ihr Ableben. Masters hat die Amerikanerin Laura als nächstes Opfer ausersehen. Stück für Stück bringt Masters ihren Haushalt unter seine Kontrolle und isoliert sie von der Außenwelt.
Michael Jayston probt seine Rolle in A Coffin for the Bride. Kein Überflieger, aber solide.
