This camp comedy thriller of greed and romance is about an Ivy League playboy who has squandered his fortune. Assisted by his girlfriend, he schemes to restore his wealth by wedding a botany crazed spinster heiress. He discovers that her conniving lawyer and sinister housekeeper are already robbing her blind and know that he plans to bump her off to become a merry widower. Soon, murder is clumsily afoot, alliances are formed and reformed, and plans that do not come to fruition bare unexpected fruit.
