Familiengrab (1976)
Blanche Taylor und ihr Freund George, ein arbeitsloser Schauspieler und Taxifahrer, sind pleite und versuchen sich mit kleinen Gaunereien über Wasser zu halten. Die beiden wittern die Chance ihres Lebens, als sie die reiche Miss Rainbird kennenlernen und von ihr erfahren, dass sie auf der Suche nach ihrem verschollenen Neffen ist. Erstaunlicherweise ist die Suche sehr bald von Erfolg gekrönt – nachdem die beiden der alten Dame „netterweise“ helfen. Doch ganz so einfach, wie die zwei es sich vorgestellt haben, ist das Ganze nicht: Der gefundene „Neffe“ hat dummerweise gerade einen Bischof entführt – und das letzte, was er zur Zeit gebrauchen kann, ist eine sentimentale alte Tante und ein trotteliges Gangster-Pärchen. Um irgendwie aus der Sache raus zu kommen, beschließt er kurzerhand, sie aus dem Weg zu schaffen …
