Welcome to the home of the eccentric Brewster family. In addition to the scheming matriarchs who poison their victims with elderberry wine, the family includes Teddy, who suffers delusions that he is Theodore Roosevelt and that the Panama Canal runs through the cellar of his home. The “locks” he digs become convenient graves for the lonely men who fall victims to Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby’s machinations. When their nephew Mortimer discovers a body under the window seat of his aunts’ home; however, the elderly women ‘fess up to their deeds matter-of-factly and events become more absurd right up to a surprise ending!
