Description Two days after their marriage Edgar catches Mavis, a villainess if ever there was one, telling obvious lies about where she has spent the evening. After a first attempt to kill him by poisoning his cocoa fails - the cat dies instead - she fires three shots into him and phones her lover. Later it transpires that the pistol contained only blanks and Edgar's body vanishes. From then on complication follows complication until chaos reigns supreme, and everything mounts to a hilarious climax - and a sinister final curtain.
