Synopsis

When an old woman dies without signing a will, her greedy daughter and son-in-law expect to inherit everything.

But when it turns out that Mom was simply in a coma, they face a dilemma: If they want the money, they're going to have to kill her off before she can bequeath her fortune to someone else!

HAL WILSON

About 50, a rather aimless delivery truck driver. Although his dream is to own the business, he doesn’t really want to do much work.

About 45, a harried homemaker who’s grown very tired of Hal’s act. She is a doer and will undertake unpleasant tasks.

MR. JACOBS

AUNT LIZ

75 years old, tough as a nail but respectable

PLUMBER

A Swedish immigrant and a decent person.

DOC MORRIS

* – Very old doctor who’s forgotten much of what he learned in medical school, but he doesn’t seem to notice. Known as a buffoon to everyone, he’s still treated respectfully, and his advice is met with a courteous nod and unbelieving smile
