The plot concerns a woman who kills her husband by assaulting him with a frozen leg of lamb, after

he had told her that he was leaving her (not written in the story why, the readers can form their own
opinion). When she realizes what she had just done she arranges an alibi for herself and then calls
the police. When the police arrive at her home, she explains to them that her husband has been
attacked. To thank them for their hard work she feeds the policemen the leg of lamb she used to kill
her husband with, and quietly laughs to herself while they eat.
