Sir Henry Ancred, the celebrated Shakespearian actor, wishes to have his portrait painted in the role of Macbeth by Agatha Troy, the famous artist - but is only willing to spare her a week of his time in which to complete it! She is reluctant to go to his home, Ancreton castle , as she is awaiting the arrival after a long absence of her husband, Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn, at any moment. But such is the persuasive power of Sir Henry’s family that she undertakes the commission and is whisked off to Ancreton, where the stage-like setting and the histrionic behaviour of the large family intrigue her, and all her powers of observation are needed when, amid a welter of practical jokes, a murder occurs and Chief Inspector Alleyn is called in to investigate.
