Arsen und Spitzenhäubchen

Hauptstraße 28

2651 Reichenau

 

Abby and Martha Brewster dedicate themselves to charity in their Brooklyn home. They lovingly serve cookies and tea to the pastor and look after their crazy nephew Teddy, who storms through the house dressed as President Roosevelt. And, quite casually, they murder lonely old men out of pure charity by slipping arsenic into their wine. When their second nephew, theater critic Mortimer, discovers a corpse in his aunts' living room, he desperately tries to bring the family's madness under control. This plan is made more difficult when his brother Jonathan, a notorious serial killer who was believed to be dead, shows up and declares that he will be moving into his aunts' house from now on. Chaos ensues.
