Description When the charming Professor Marcus turns up on Mrs Wilberforce's doorstep, she couldn't be happier. It's even better when his friends arrive to rehearse for their amateur string quintet. Of course, they are not what they seem. The quintet is in fact a band of crooks who plant themselves in the old lady's upstairs room to plan a bank heist.
