Plots(1)
The Carleton family will do anything for money except work. Taken in by a rich, lonely old lady, George-Anne Carleton (Gaynor), the savvy and cynical baby of the family, hatches the perfect plan, the Carletons will pretend to be the decent people their hostess is sure they are, in the hopes that she'll rewrite her will in their favor! But there's just one flaw, how long can you play a role before you actually become it? (official distributor synopsis)
