In Sybil Walling’s absence her children call in the chimney-sweep, whose brushes dislodge not only soot but a body. When Sybil returns she tells them that, just before he died twenty years ago, their father had killed a Soho gangster and had hidden the body in the chimney. The police descend in pursuit of an amorous patient of Sybil’s son Henry, which leads to hilarious misunderstandings and surprises.

The action of the play passes in the morning-room of Sybil Walling’s house in Hampstead.
