Dr. Ridley is tired of retired life. The lonely days in the country side pass by before him, one just the same as the other, as he withers away- reduced to little more than the skeleton of a brilliant intellect. However, a visit from a most charming young lady will surely change Dr. Ridley's life in a most unexpected way. He will make her tea while they chat about life outside his little bunker, and maybe even save himself from death.
