Synopsis
Mr Scobie arrives at the Nursing Home of St Christopher and St Jude by accident and unwittingly into the clutches of Matron Hyacinth Price, a woman of questionable practices. But Mr Scobie has some recourse - along with his very simple riddle, his nephew Hartley and a group of nocturnal poker players - the foundations of Matron Prices' establishment are rocked forever.
