Who gets the fortune?  It's 1919 at the Langford Estate.  Lady Leona has died and absolutely no one is sad about it.  She was forever threatening to write people out of her will.  Now that she is finally gone, her closest family and favored servants have gathered for the reading of her will.  But Leona always loved two things:  Puzzles and Making Life Difficult.
