Robert Arthur Kewdingham, an out-of-work husband who "collects" things from bits of Roman artifacts to plain rubbish is a hypochondriac and believes himself to be a high priest of the lost Atlantis is pushing his wife to the limit of her endurance. Her husband's relatives are just as nasty to her as Robert is. Unable to cope any longer, Robert's wife decides to poison him and the local doctor himself is experimenting with a drug of his own devising on Robert that should kill him. Yet, Robert does not die as each the doctor and the wife increase their dosages. A very intriguing mystery with a host of suspects.
