"What was a man in a wheelchair doing on
a staircase?"
Picture a charming home
in the American south, but into the scene put
the despotic Hubbard family: Ben, possessive
and scheming; Oscar, cruel and arrogant; Leo,
weak and unprincipled; Regina, wickedly clever. In
contrast, meet lonely, intimidated Birdie; wistful
Alexandra, Regina's daughter; and Horace, ailing
husband of Regina. The Hubbard men lack
a large amount of money to build a cotton mill. This,
they hope, will come from Horace who has been
in hospital with a heart ailment. Theft
ensues, but Regina learns of the plot and after
her husband is stricken with a severe attack,
blackmails her brothers.
