Elizabeth is a feisty widow, a former entrepreneur and explorer living with her daughter Penny and begrudging son-in-law Barry, who are due to visit Clive and Roberta - old friends and business associates - leaving Elizabeth home alone. Unfortunately the visit has to be cancelled because Clive comes down with measles. However other guests due at Clive`s need access to a computer because of mutual business arrangements. the use of Barry`s equipment is volunteered and the venue for the evening is changed to their house. Barry and Penny, not having the ideal marital relationship are both unbeknown to each other in the throes of an affair and as coincidence and the script would have it their respective paramours just happen to be the two business associates of Clive`s who are due to descend on them that very night. their secrets eventually come out and the weather worsens, trapping them together. During the evening it becomes clear that Elizabeth is in possession of a fantastic ancient artefact called the Diamond of Shallanab. Driven by lust and avarice the two pairs of adulterers scheme to steal this valuable treasure and make a new life for themselves elsewhere. they are however thwarted by justice and Elizabeth`s own amorous plans in the closing scene
