Martin starts an affair with Lorna (Leonor Watling) while attending university lectures where he is put in his place by his idol. One night, Martin and Professor Seldom discover Mrs. Eagleton dead at her residence. They are interrogated by the police but decide to conduct their own investigation into the murder.
