Siblings Robert and Charlene have to delay the termination of their trust while they put a plan together to take over their deceased uncle's company. Their plan to confuse the trust lawyer by switching roles is complicated by the early arrival of the backer for their takeover plan. When the trust lawyer arrives they have to create another set of 'cousins' to explain which sibling is which. Complicating the situation, Robert and Charlene find they are attracted to the guests. Then there is the housekeeper who is trying to remember which sibling is which while sneaking a few sips of very old sherry and developing a passion for dancing. And, of course, the lemonade laced with pain killer...and it all gets very wild and confusing.
