They are two nice, sweet old ladies who murder nice, sweet, lonely old men by
offering them elderberry wine laced with arsenic. And the sisters' crazy but
harmless nephew Teddy, who sports a large moustache and a pince-nez, believes
he is Teddy Roosevelt, and often charges up the flight of stairs as if it were
San Juan Hill. Teddy digs graves in the Brewster cellar, burying the sisters'
victims who he believes are yellow fever casualties working on the Panama Canal.
Matters get more farcical when another Brewster nephew, the criminal Jonathan on
the lam, and a strange Dr. Einstein arrive with the body of their latest victim.
Complications set in when their nephew Mortimer learns of the sisters'
activities; and must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and local police as
he debates whether or not to go through with his recent promise to marry the
woman he loves.
