A mid-1960s crime thriller built on suspicion and deception, where a detective unravels a mystery hidden behind the respectable facade of a wealthy estate and its unlikely inhabitants.

A Scotland Yard detective is investigating a string of robberies and a murder, and the information he uncovers leads him to the estate of a wealthy but strange English family, who share their mansion with a group of nuns. The detective comes to suspect that neither the family nor the nuns is quite what they seem to be.
