The film begins with a British policeman struggling with a burglary suspect. The suspect shoves the cop into the wall...and the next day the policeman dies from his head wounds.
The story then switches to an insurance investigator (O'Herlihy) visiting various homes on the street, as apparently these are rich folks who all have policies with his company. Some new characters are introduced and soon you learn that Sir Maurice's son is planning on marrying a woman who was married to a scoundrel some time ago. Where does all this go next? Well, A LOT of places as the plot is pretty complex...but ultimately enjoyable.
This is a decent murder mystery and I think Dan O'Herlihy's fine acting helped a bit to make the film just a bit better. Not a great film...but a very good one.
