For as long as anyone can remember, Penhallows have married Darks and vice versa, and all the members of each clan are simply yearning to inherit the old dark jug. Aunt Becky, the matriarch of the clan, must leave the beloved heirloom to one of her kin, but she will have some biting fun first at the expense of her family. It is decreed that she will leave the name of the recipient in an envelope that is not to be open until one year after her death. Suddenly very odd things begin to happen in the family. Noel Gibson breaks his engagement with the lovely Gay Penhallow for her worldly cousin Nan. Peter Penhallow and Donna Dark, sworn enemies, fall in love, and Roger Penhallow finally wins the heart of his beloved. Does this jug have such power over the family or is Aunt Becky still tinkering with them from beyond the grave?
