Hilary Smith belonged to a good family, who got involved in some financial problems. His father and brother died, leaving him very small amount of money that he wasted. Then, he discovered that he had a rich aunt, his father's only sister. Years ago, after marrying Mr. Prothero, a small business owner instead of a lord, she was dead to her brother.

So Hilary appeared in his aunt's life. Aunt Mary seemed to like him, and soon he was able to move into her house. Aunt Mary was very ill and she was slowly dying. Hilary found out that before her marriage, she made a will and left all her money to a religious group in China. However, Hilary examined some law books and found out that when a woman married, an earlier will was no longer legal.

Hilary knew that he was his aunt's only relative, so his future was safe. However, Hilary's financial problems became serious and he decided to poison his aunt, so that he would get her money. Aunt Mary suspected that her nephew wanted to kill her, but she was so sick that she didn't care. However, seconds before drinking the poisoned drink Hilary fixed her, she told him she was never married to late Mr. Prothero. They were living together as husband and wife but never actually married each other.

That point could be described as the potential turning point of the story. Hilary was faced with the fact that continuing his plan would not end up in winning his aunt's money. However, changing his plan would mean that his aunt was right in suspecting him. So he couldn't really win either way.
