Plot introduction
Edward Freeman is married to Helen but has an affair with Binny. The lovers are holding their first dinner party, although Edward has promised his wife that he will not be home late. Edward also invites his friend Simpson and Simpson’s wife, Muriel to Binny's house. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned, and the dinner party is gate-crashed by desperate bank-robbers wielding sawn-off shotguns and seeking hostages.[2]
