Frank cook, having being taken ill with a rare complaint, has been booked into a private nursing home by his wife June for a week’s respite. Whilst there, he encounters the reverend Paul Latimer who is recovering from a heart transplant and whose odd behavior is beginning to alarm his wife, Sarah.
The young attractive Tracey might provide the answer. She is convinced that the vicar’s new heart belonged to her recently deceased lover Melvin, a fairground “wall of death” rider. Could it be that Paul has taken on Melvin’s personality traits as well as his heart? That again. perhaps he’s just suffering from the side of his medication? Frank, ever the cantankerous septic, is delighted by vicar’s fall from grace, while June does her best to rein in his detective work.
