No one could do a story like this quite like Alfred Hitchcock.
I don't want to give too much away but here is the setup . George is a taxidermist a very good one and he's has a special assignment from the city . He's preparing a horse for display and there will be a time capsule in it. He has a nice wife Louisa and a young boy who's a friend named Charlie of George and takes interest in his work. He really adds to the story as a curious boy but in no way a pest .
Trouble begins when Louisa's younger brother Waldren comes for a stay. He's demanding claims bad health and it runs Louisa ragged. Even in the heat he claims it's drafty ! George worries about his wife and his fears are confirmed when she collapses. The doctor tells George she just needs rest. George mentions his brother in law's condition. The wise doctor says Waldren missed his calling and should have been an actor! George thinks of various ways to get Waldren to leave . He ultimately comes up with a most Hitchcock way and with an additional twist or two .
Well written, acted and directed this is a must see for any fan of this suspense/ drama/ comedy style of entertainment.
