Plot introduction

[edit]

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]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
