Writer Mortimer Brewster and girl-next-door Elaine Harper are engaged. When they return home to deliver the news, Brewster finds a corpse hidden in a window seat at the home of his eccentric aunts, Abby and Martha. The spinsters have been “mercifully” poisoning lonely old gentlemen while his disturbed uncle, who believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt, buries them in the basement. With that, and an unexpected visit by his homicidal brother, he starts to realize that his family is even crazier than he thought.

Arsenic and Old Lace is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
