After Claire (Geraldine Page) is left penniless when her husband dies, she moves to Arizona with a plan to make money: start a pine tree garden, hire a housekeeper who has savings, kill her and bury her under a new pine tree, and take the deceased's savings. But Alice (Ruth Gordon) becomes suspicious when one of her ex-employees is missing and gets a job with Claire as a housekeeper. And the battle of wits begins. The two fine actresses, as expected, are good in their roles in this thriller/black comedy.
