Mr Marble is in serious debt, desperate for money to pay his family's bills, until the combination of a wealthy relative, a bottle of Cyanide and a shovel offer him the perfect solution.

Then, in a final twist of the knife, Mrs Marble ensures that retribution comes in the most unexpected of ways ...
