Wealthy, paralyzed John Stuart is dying in Monte Carlo. His wife, Joan Maude, has a boyfriend and wants money, more money, and freedom while she is still young. His son, Don Stannard, wants the old man's nurse, Shirley Quentin. The family doctor, Arnold Bell, says that what is killing Stuart is unhappiness.
And so he dies. But is it a natural death? This movie is a bit of moping melodrama, with the rich suffering in mink while those around them seem perfectly happy. I don't like it. There are no characters you can root for, unless it's the butler; all he wants is a well made cup of tea served at tea time, not the eternal French coffee, which he proclaims is bad for the liver.
