Description: A tontine is established for a dozen children, a tontine being a kind of bet/insurance, money is put in for each to grow with interest and the last survivor is to get the lot. We watch the group dwindle until only two brothers are left. One brother is watched by his nephews who will keep him alive at all costs, the other lives in ill health and poverty as the only support of his fairly stupid grandson. Statues and bodies are switched, in the wrong boxes until everyone is sure someone has died.

"The Finsbury brothers, Masterman and Joseph are the last surviving members of a tontine that will pay a huge sum to whomever lives longest. Hoping to bankroll his feckless grandson Michael, Masterman asks Joseph to visit with the intention of killing him. Meanwhile, Joseph has two scheming nephews who also want the money. When they think Joseph has died en route to seeing his brother, they attempt to cover it up. This comedy starts off quite well, rather quirky, with colourful and fun character"
