Synopsis

Death pays a call to an English household and discovers he's in the wrong place.

After apologizing profusely to the near victim, he discovers to his horror that not only can everyone in that household see him but that someone other than he is now performing his task.

In an attempt to get to the bottom of things, none other than one of Scotland Yard's finest, Inspector Edward Mirabelle, is brought in to confront the bizarre event, witness a few deaths and hopefully solve what the inspector now describes as his favorite case.
