Lovesick butler James and ice-cold Miss Sophie have a way to get rid of people who get in their path. Scotland Yard offers his best man in the person of chief inspector DeCraven. But he is in great danger.
The chairs at Miss Sophie's dinner table are empty. But how did this deplorable lack of birthday guests come about? A dark secret is hidden behind the absence of the gentlemen Sir Toby, Admiral von Schneider, Mr. Pommeroy and Mr. Winterbottom, an absence that is by no means voluntary. When a butler's love inflames and his mistress cultivates her whims and desires, then anything can happen. Finally, the truth about Dinner for One is being told. And, of course, a tiger also has his fingers... pardon, his paws in every pie.
