When Mrs. Peacock wants to make a copy of a painting by Vincent Van Gogh, Professor Plum puts her in touch with a university colleague named Charles Letan. When Charles arrives at Brindabella Homestead, his arrogance, vanity and dismissiveness of all of the residents puts him at odds with them, and his French-style behaviour doesn't endear him to them. Many of the residents want him to leave as soon as possible, but he goes in a way he would never have thought.
