London, today: An unscrupulous art dealer, the gargantuan Gottfleisch, believes that 85-year-old Sidonie Keene is hiding a small hoard of her notorious sister Naomi's valuable paintings. Naomi was a British Nazi in the 1930s, a friend of Goering and Hitler, she spent her war years in Germany. Denounced as a traitor after the Allied victory, she died a forgotten artist.

Gottfleisch and his unprincipled assistant, Ticky, set out to steal the paintings from the old lady, little realising that there is more to Sidonie than meets the eye.
