Arsenic And Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring. Mortimer Bruster is a newspaperman and author known for his diatribes against marriage. After being married at city hall, he takes a quick trip home to tell his two old maid aunts. While trying to break the news, he discovers his aunts' very bad habit of murdering lonely old men who have some sort of religious affiliation and they consider doing it a charity. They then leave it to their bugle blowing nephew Teddy (who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt) to take them to the Panama Canal (the cellar) and bury them. Add to the mix another nephew who returns to the home after years of fleeing the authorities due to his "unofficial practice" of killing people and using their faces to change his. Watch each character try to find resolve in their suddenly flipped upside-down lives.
