Hitchcock's production crew was always excellent in picking out good stories and this one is no exception. The guest cast features Mildred Natwick who would later become better known briefly as one of televisions "Snoop Sisters" -a short lived series on NBC I believe.
Two brothers have a rich dotty old aunt who is leaving them money, money, money when she dies. She is in such good health that one of the brothers loses patience waiting for his money and devises a plan to kill her. Her talks his brother into helping do the deed.
They prepare carefully, making sure they have everything right knowing the Aunt's routine and planning it all to the last detail. Everything is perfect until the Aunts Senility kicks in and throws the entire plot off schedule. Let's just say that in the end the Aunt is still a picture of health and someone else is well, dead. The dead don't need any money and sometimes scare the wits out of the living.
