Quando Lockhart Flawse viene catapultato fuori dalla sua vita da altolocata e da Raperonzolo con il brontolone Flawse Senior, deve entrare nel mondo della periferia e del matrimonio. Reso un idiota assoluto nella società moderna dalla sua educazione medievale, Lockhart deve ricorrere a tattiche drastiche nel suo tentativo di tornare a Flawse House. Di fronte agli orrori della periferia, deve terrorizzare, ricattare e potenzialmente uccidere un'intera strada di inquilini, o tentare di trovare il suo sconosciuto e sfuggente padre per ereditare la tenuta. Tuttavia, con la convinzione di essere stato lasciato tra le braccia di sua madre da una cicogna, uccidere una strada di persone potrebbe essere l'opzione più saggia per il giovane socialmente inetto. È anche sotto una pressione crescente, poiché potrebbe essere tutto vano se la sua suocera cercatrice di dote avesse la meglio. Ora moglie di Flawse Senior, ha deciso che se il ricco nonno di Lockhart non avrà la decenza di morire da solo, prenderà in mano la situazione.
