A Scotland Yard detective investigates when gunfire disrupts an aristocratic family's Christmas celebrations in this classic British mystery.

The relatives of Sir Basil Roper are gathering to celebrate Christmas at the family's ancestral home in Yorkshire. While the ancient estate has remained unchanged for centuries, the surrounding area now features neon signs, a textile mill, and a brewery.

Even so, Arthur Ferryman is happy to be there and looking forward to a peaceful holiday. Unfortunately, many of his cousins have taken up pistol shooting for a new hobby. Making matters worse, the family learns that Basil plans to sell the place.

With the mood of the party soured, quarreling begins, and tension mounts. Before you can say, "Bah humbug," a gun is fired, and one of the revelers is shot.

Soon, Arthur finds himself assisting Insp. John Appleby with his investigation. Together they must navigate family secrets and grudges to find a shooter before someone else gets a bullet for Christmas . . .
