A publisher's representative comes to a Louisiana mansion to speak to an elderly lady about a mystery novel she has written. This novel puts her in conflict with her domineering sister who seems to run the show. She is steeped in the tradition of the deep South and the need to not air dirty laundry. She is embarrassed by her sister. As the man comes to know the two women, he comes to appreciate the more timid of the two. As the story develops, we come to also realize that the novel is not totally fiction but may have more autobiography in it than originally thought. A cover-up begins to take place and some factors not in evidence begin to appear. It's not a bad little story. A previous episode took two very similar characters and made them comic. This one is much more balanced.
