School reforms turns a pair of mild-mannered, old-fashioned teachers into comic murder conspirators.
The setting for this black comedy is Sludgehill Grammer, where the headmaster has decided to abolish the teaching of Latin and Greek. The Classics master and English mistress - teachers with more traditional ideas - are appalled. There seems to be only one solution - murder. When the headmaster and the chairwoman of the education committee die eating a marzipan cake poisoned with cyanide paste, it looks like an open-and-shut case. But is it?
