It all started when an unhappy housewife meets a shoe salesman and it was love at first shoe-fitting. The only thing standing in the way is the doting, halfwit husband. What to do? Kill him. What was supposed to be a simple fool proof murder turns into a hilarious fiasco, when the eccentric Spanish-speaking maid, arrives on the wrong day and she too falls for the shoe salesman. The repeated, foiled murder attempts get funnier and funnier as the lovers try to finish the job they started- Resulting in this wacky tale of love, murder, and ….shoes!
