***SPOILERS*** Dropping into a local diner con artists couple Frank & Lorna Bramwell, Charles Bronson & Norma Crane, overhear some gossip about this old lady Monica Laughton, Estella Winwood, who lives all by herself in this big house up the road and is loaded to the gills with cash that her husband left her when he finally kicked off.
Seeing an easy mark the two go to see Monica with the excuse that their assessing her house for the town in how much real-estate taxes she's to pay by the end of the year. Before either the Bramwells can open their mouths Monica mistakes them for her relatives and invites them to stay and meet the family. It turns out that the family consists of about a dozen members of the Laughton clan who are invisible to the naked eye! Inside the house and determined to find where Monica keeps her money hidden both Frank & Lorna start to play along with her. After a while in getting nowhere in finding the hidden cash,that's expected to be as much as one million dollars, Frank loses his cool and start to strong arm the 73 year old widow in getting her to tell him where she has the money hidden! During all this time, which seems like a couple of days, both Frank & Lorna had nothing at all to eat in that the food that Monica served them was as invisible as the relatives she had staying in her house!
****SPOILERS**** As it turned out Monica did finally cook or bake up something for the Bramwell's just to get them both out of her house and her hair. And as the hungry as a starved timber wolf Bramwell's gobbled the food down, fresh baked cupcakes and milk, it turned out to be their last meal on earth! As we see both at the beginning an end of the Alfred Hitchcock episode Teddy the milkman, Dobbs Greer, the only person who keeps in contact with Monica brings her the weekly supplies of milk and cream to her house. Teddy seems to know that there's something strange going on in the Laughton house in all the people or guests dying there but he isn't talking. All Teddy does is delivers the milk and what Monica does with it, or with those living in her house,is non of his business.
