An American fortune hunter works his way through a series of rich women by marrying and then killing them.
Unfortunately it's not as much fun as you might imagine or as it should have been.

A 60-as években úgy tűnik volt egy ilyen hulláma a "feleséggyilkolós "komédiáknak. A főszerepben talán a két leghíresebb magyar származású hollywoody sztár, Tony Curtis és Gábor Zsa Zsa.
