The year is 1915.
There is excitement in the seaside town of Margate when silent movie star, Dolores del Ruth, and her partner Gregory Martinez, arrive to make their latest movie. They are the perfect screen couple. But all is not as it seems, and when Martinez suddenly drops dead cracks begin to appear in the façade. Martinez has been murdered; poisoned with cyanide. Inspector 'Artful' Archie Page of the Dover CID is brought in to investigate. He immediately arrests Robson, the barman at the Walpole Bay Hotel. When Robson has an alibi, Page arrests Dolores, but she also has an alibi. In desperation he arrests local theatrical agent, Douglas Carstairs - but even he has an alibi. Page is stumped. Waiting in the wings are Dorothy and Effie, two ladies of a certain age who enjoy a racy life of fast cars, cocktails and a good bottle of wine with lunch. As amateur sleuths, they think Page is in need of help - the inspector disagrees. He dismisses them as nothing more than a nuisance. He doesn't have time for them and their suggestions. But things only get worse; there are two more murders. While Page flounders, the two ladies get to work. But even they will find there are complications.
