A Play of the Month presentation It is Leo Zheltukhin's birthday and to mark the occasion his friends and neighbours are joining him for lunch. Among them are Alexander Serebryakov, a retired professor, and his second wife, the young and beautiful Helen. They have continued to live on his first wife's estate after her death and share the house with his dead wife's mother and her son George. It is an arrangement which leads to tragedy.
