A screwball comedy built on marital chaos and mounting paranoia, where a nervous husband's attempt to hide a murder spirals into increasingly farcical complications.

TV writer Elliott Nash buries a blackmailer under the new gazebo in his suburban backyard. But the nervous man can't let the body rest there.
