However, their charity includes poisoning lonely old men who come to their home looking for lodging. The two women are assisted in their crimes by their mentally challenged nephew who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and who frequently blasts a bugle and yells 'charge' as he bounds up the stairs. Matters get complicated when their nephew, a theater critic learns his two old aunts have been serving gentlemen callers lethal elderberry wine.
