A body and interfering office cleaner, and a Detective Superintendent with a bad cold and a worse temper make this a side splitting comedy. The cleaning lady, Mrs Piper, lives in the basement of the office building she cleans and one night finds a dead body. More bodies turn up all over the place as Superintendent Baxter and Sergeant Baxter try to get to the bottom of a mysterious series of events and murder. Mrs Piper skilfully hinders the investigation. Needless to say confusion occurs when the supposedly dead Mr Marshall appears very much alive and as unpleasant as ever.
