EPISODE 1
A shadow is cast on Lord Arthur Savile's engagement to the lovely Sybil
Merton after a palm-reading by Mr. Podgers at Lady Windermere’s reception.
Podgers nervously confides to Lord Arthur that he saw “Murder”
written on the gentleman’s palm. Lord Arthur is beside himself and
comes to a logical conclusion that if he is to have any hope of contentment
in his marriage, he is duty bound to commit a murder first.
EPISODE II
With the help of his Butler, Willet, Lord Arthur sets about concocting the
intricacies of a murder. But his fervent attempt of committing the crime
is not as straightforward as he initially thought. Will Lord Arthur ever
be able to carry out his “murderous” destiny and fulfil his
dream to marry Sybil?
