One pleasant May evening, Pop and Ma Larkin and their six children return to the rustic charms of their Kent farm. Waiting for them is a young man: Mr Cedric Charlton, an upstanding inspector of taxes come to discover why they haven't paid any.
Yet as junk-dealer Pop patiently explains: nothing's ever that simple at the Larkins. Before long his eldest daughter Mariette takes a shine to young Cedric, seducing him with the delights of country living: the lusty scents of wild flowers, the pleasures of a bottle of Dragon's Blood, cold cream dribbled over a bowl of strawberries and the sweet song of nightingales.
Will Cedric come to his senses?
Or will he beat a hasty retreat to the office?
