When old Tucker Dowt announces he’s going to be murdered, folks wonder if he’s trying to upset his doctor or buy a little time from foreclosing banker Brandon Russeld.  Or could someone really be out to murder the family patriarch?  Jane, the new girlfriend of Tucker’s grandson, arrives for a visit and Tucker suddenly disappears in a mysterious fashion.  Did he pass out or pass away entirely?  “Here one day, and going, going gone,” mulls Minnie, Tucker’s eccentric daughter who always gets famous adages mixed up.  All the while, Minnie’s sister, May Dowt, is busy writing the Great American Novel and trying out dramatic death scenes, as if Tucker’s demise wasn’t enough!  Minnie’s daughter Pansy spends way too much time reading until she meets the man of her dreams, the eloquent Sheriff Keefer Mahart, whose metaphors make her swoon.  Unfortunately, Keefer is there to serve eviction papers and throw the whole family out on the street.  Nosey neighbors, whiny handymen and public relations agents add to the confusion.  Who died?  When Tucker’s supposed twin brother Tap Dowt shows up, the banker can’t believe his eyes!  Find out who gets the benefit of the “Dowt” in this uniquely hilarious comedy!
