On the eve of her wedding in Stratford-Upon-Avon, hairdresser Luella Shakespeare becomes suspicious that her fiance is having an affair, so she retains private investigator Frank Hathaway. Frank ordinarily doesn't do "extra-maritals", but he needs the work and so reluctantly starts digging. Abruptly, Luella cancels his services and goes through with the wedding, only for her new husband to be found dead in the honeymoon suite.
