The Ladykillers central character is a little old lady. She lives in a tumbledown Victorian house near St Pancras Station, and takes in as a lodger a strange 'professor' with prominent dentures. He has four odd friends who visit regularly for the purpose, she is told, of playing chamber music. In fact they are plotting a large robbery and intend to use the house as their operation base

Inevitably she finds out what they have been up to, and calmly takes them over as though they are little boys who have misbehaved in the nursery. They plot to kill her, but cannot

agree who is to perform the deed; the thieves fall out and each in turn is eliminated, the last felled by the arm of a railway signal as he disposes of the penultimate body. The old lady, finding herself the custodian of a gigantic amount of used bank-notes, goes along to the local police station to report it, but the amiable policeman who is used to her fantasies, sends her on her way!
