One Body Too Many
Comedy, Horror, Mystery
A timid insurance salesman Albert L. Tuttle visits eccentric millionaire Cyrus J. Rutherford, intent on selling him a $200,000 insurance deal.
Instead he finds that Rutherford has recently died and his mansion is now full of relatives who are, according to the will, all bound to remain in the mansion until a glass-domed vault is constructed on the roof, to house the deceased millionaire who was an ardent follower of the stars.
Tuttle is mistaken for a private detective sent to guard the body, and once the confusion is cleared up and the real detective fails to show, he is convinced by Rutherford's niece Carol Dunlap (Jean Parker) to remain and ensure that the body is not stolen.
If the body should be buried any place other than the vault, the will states that recipients who would receive the largest request will receive the smallest, and vice versa.
One of the recipients plans to reverse the will in their favor, hide the body and kill anyone who gets in their way. Unfortunately for mild-mannered Tuttle, he is directly in the way of the killer, and the rest of the conniving family. (Wikipedia)
