Three generations of women who share the same name - 63-year-old Cissie Colpitts, her daughter Cissie Colpitts II, and granddaughter Cissie Colpitts III - have all discovered the same way of dealing with their marital problems. The senior Cissie has drowned her husband Jake in the bathtub, her daughter sent her spouse Hardy to a watery grave in the ocean, and the youngest Cissie sent her husband Bellamy down in a swimming pool. Needless to say, local coroner Henry Madgett has some questions about this sudden rash of drownings among the Colpitts husbands, and again all three women respond in the same way: they promise to sleep with Henry in exchange for recording the deaths as accidental. When the local gossip mill begins working overtime about this sudden rash of water-related deaths, Henry's teenage son Smut comes to the aid of the Cissies and organizes a tug-of-war, with he and the Colpitts women on one side and the doubting townspeople on the other. Along the way, Greenaway often stops to contemplate his obsessions with literature, astronomy, and numbers.
