Es ist Heiligabend und Sir Eustace Vernon hat eine kleine Gesellschaft eingeladen, um bei einem Dinner Weihnachten zu feiern. Während des festlichen Abendessens jedoch bestürzt Sir Vernon eine geheime Botschaft in seinem roten Knallbonbon dermaßen, dass er sich ohne weitere Erklärung in sein Studierzimmer zurückzieht.
