About
The son of a disowned aristocrat plans to murder eight relatives ahead of him in line for the family dukedom.
In Edwardian England, Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini (Dennis Price) is raised by his mother, the 7th Duke of Chalfont's youngest daughter. Her family disowned her after she eloped with an Italian opera singer named Mazzini. Louis's father dies shortly after his birth, and his mother brings him up on stories of the D'Ascoyne line, including that the dukedom can descend through female as well as male heirs. His childhood friends are Sibella Hallward (Joan Greenwood) and her brother, the children of a local doctor. Alec Guinness plays eight members of the D'Ascoyne family, and Valerie Hobson plays Edith D'Ascoyne. After his mother's death, Louis decides to murder the eight relatives ahead of him in the succession and take the family dukedom.
