Here is a screwball comedy by the author of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, Psycho Beach Party, and Red Scare on Sunset, among others. A timid young electrologist's act of altruism leads to a ten million dollar inheritance, but only after he accidently shocks his benefactor, the elderly Mr. Rosenberg, causing a fatal heart attack. Rosenberg's fiercely materialistic daughter resents sharing her inheritance with Christopher and they do battle on the Oprah like Wanda Wang Show. The plot becomes even more outrageous when Christopher's flamboyant sister and Mr. Rosenberg's ghost appear.

"Utterly winning." -The New York Times
