Tourists may be for trapping, but it is hapless Doug Perkins, half of the London public relations firm of Perkins and Tate, who seems to get trapped each time an assignment comes the way of the struggling young enterprise.

With the help of a Cockney minibus driver and Kate, a genuine Larkin's tour guide, Doug desperately tries to turn the group's attention from murder and on to the attractions in and around London, but

it's an uphill job, not helped by a second death in the group. Nor by the infighting among the travelers, by a predatory widow with eyes on Doug (among others) or by a couple of obstreperous teenagers.
Prominent in the action is Pandora, the little Siamese whom Doug acquired at an equally ill-fated assignment (Murder at the Cat Show). Now at home in the Perkins/ Tate establishment. Pandora even contributes to the solution of this delightful and characteristically Babson romp.
