Keen to climb the social ladder by marrying into money, the neighbourhood barber and ambitious suitor, Oliver, finds the nerve to cheat on his partner and friend, Stanley, and answer the classified ad of a lonely, affluent widow. Before long, the merry future husband arrives in her palatial mansion, with Stanley in tow; they eventually discover that the widow's favourite hobby is murder. Now, after a frenzied killing spree and a long string of unsolved deaths, it seems that poor Oliver is next in line. Who can save Oliver the Eighth?
