In Vermont, a young boy finds a man's body in the woods.
Jennifer knows the dead man, he is her ex husband, maybe she has killed
him when she broke a bottle on his head.
Captain Wiles could have killed the man while he was hunting rabbits and
Miss Gravely fears she could have killed the him when she stroke the man with
her heel.
Everyone thinks that they had something to do with the man's death.
From now on, the poor body is buried and exhumed a lot of times and at the
end it's hide into Jennifer's bathroom.
When the doctor looks at Harry he discovers he is dead by natural causes.

The film is a great comedy with a lot of black humor and funny gags.
Characters seems to have no regret in sending Harry's body here and there,
when they fear to be murderers.
First movie for Shirley MacLaine and great cinematography by Robert Burks.
