| Description | The plot owes something to 'The Maltese Falcon' and 'The Lavender Hill Mob' but more to old British comic formulas and Monty Python. Two con men are trying to find clues to a hidden treasure. When the play begins, one has been killed (maybe), and the other falls into the clutches of a bookseller who has figured out their game and its clues but who hasn't the strength - nor, as it turns out, the wit - to get the treasure for himself. | |||||||||||||
