The festivities take a dark turn when Mavis, Warrenby's frantic niece, bursts in with shocking news: her uncle has been found dead, shot in the head beneath an oak tree. Panic ensues as the villagers, each with their own motives for wanting Warrenby gone, become suspects.

As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that Warrenby was involved in blackmail, complicating matters further. Chief Inspector Hemingway must navigate a web of deceit and animosity to determine who among the ten suspects transformed their hatred into murder, all while uncovering the truth behind Warrenby’s death.
