Synopsis
Gerald and Milly Musgrove steal $100,000 dollars, but don't know where to hide the money. The couple befriends an elderly and apparently senile woman named Emmy Rice. After a visit to her home, Gerald stashes the money in a stack of old magazines. He later convinces Emmy to name him in her will. He wants to be the beneficiary of all her belongings so that he can murder her and gain legal possession of the money. Emmy draws up a will but several attempts on her life fail. The couple returns to visit the old woman again. When they arrive, they are startled to see the police. Emmy accuses them of attempted murder. Before the police escort him away, Gerald sees that the magazines where he stashed the money are gone. Emmy tells him that her landlord told her to throw some of the magazines away. After the Musgroves are led away, however, Emmy opens her icebox where she has hid the money. (TV.com)
