Three successful men die in an airplane crash in the mountains of Alaska. Their bodies are never found. Years later, their seventy-year-old widows are still living in South Laguna Beach, California. The three women, CORA WILY, EUNICE PROSAIC, and GLADYS PUMPHANDLE, are good friends and have made an exciting and essential decision. When their time comes, they don’t wish to be buried alone. They want a man buried in the grave next to them to share the everlasting. So, they invite a salesman to their home to sell cemetery plots for the new Sunny View Cemetery near South Laguna Beach. Later, they each decided to purchase two expensive cemetery plots while visiting the cemetery.

Then the three ladies begin their quest to find a man without any family, to accept burial in their second cemetery plot. Over the next few weeks, they looked for the correct type of men at a convention, local socials, and street festivals. One by one, the ladies successfully find eligible men who agree to their proposal. However, problems arise after the men sign the agreement papers. Two of the men mysteriously die. The police become suspicious, as they feel these aren’t coincidences. The soon-to-retire, eccentric LIEUTENANT HORACE SLEUTHHAMMER begins investigating the men’s deaths. The three ladies profess their innocence. The lieutenant relentlessly tries to find them guilty of a “crime.”
