The patriarch of the family, Mr. Princey, is known for his love of animals and his strict adherence to proper etiquette. However, his wife and children are all too aware of his shortcomings, including his penchant for extramarital affairs.

As the family members settle in for the weekend, a heavy rainstorm sets in and they are forced to stay indoors. Tensions begin to rise when one of the guests, a young man named Albert, starts making flirtatious advances towards the Princeys' teenage daughter, Millicent. Mr. Princey is incensed and threatens Albert with violence if he doesn't leave Millicent alone.

Later that evening, after a game of bridge, Mr. Princey is found dead in his study. The family members initially suspect Albert of having something to do with his death, but he has a solid alibi.
