About
Mortimer Brewster always knew that his family had a bit of a mad gene — his brother believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt — but his world is turned upside down when he realizes that his dear aunts have been poisoning lonely old men for years! When Mortimer’s maniacal brother, Jonathan (who mysteriously looks like Boris Karloff…) returns, Mortimer must rally to help protect his aunts and fiancé — all while trying to keep his own sanity as well.
