Summary
At last, a delightful comedy for an all female cast!

Convinced that the maid "knows too much" about her family's shady past, Delilah conspires with her younger sister to kill her.

Just when it looks like the deed is done, the Grim Reaper makes a timely appearance and Elmira senses danger! Officer Judy arrives to help resolve this farce, but it's the parrot that solves the crime!
