Complicating matters further, Barney’s mother Cemolina has a secret of her own, causing a bloody and comedic chain of events.While Barney clumsily tries to cover his and his mothers tracks, the police inspector Holdall fights his own battles within his inept homicide department as he tries to solve the crime of the century. A black comedy of errors unfolds as the police try to capture the murderer at large.
