Plot[]
The film is a cinematic work of historical fiction, taking as its premise the idea that Jones was murdered by Frank Thorogood, a builder who had been hired to renovate and improve Jones's house Cotchford Farm in East Sussex, though there is a curious ghost-epilogue where Jones comes back to earth to thank chauffeur/minder Tom Keylock - not Thorogood - for making him into an immortal martyr.
