Summary
Two charming, eccentric elderly ladies arrive on the porch of the local funeral home with the intention of dying there by drinking wine laced with poison. "We thought the town could drive by and pay their respects and not have to bother about getting out. A kind of drive-in viewing." But they become a bit tipsy before the wine has been poisoned and, by efforts of a traveling salesman, avoid the death. In fact, they are so taken with the young salesman, they decide to ask him to accompany them on a trip to Paris!
