Luddy Dublin (Patricia Carmichael) is released from prison after 30 years for dismembering her mum with an axe. Now homeless, Luddy is taken in by Ellen (Elizabeth Eis), who lives in a mansion with her rich Aunt Delilah (Agnes Moorehead).
Luddy is soon employed to push Delilah around in her wheelchair.
Enter Delilah's other family members, who are a dubious collection of characters with not-so-hidden agendas. When Delilah announces her plan to give her house and land to the state, it doesn't sit well with these greedy relations. When Delilah also tells them about a hidden treasure in the house, all bets are off!
Obviously, we're supposed to be waiting to see if / when Luddy cracks and goes berserk. However, she's not the only one to worry about!
DEAR DEAD DELILAH is a true southern-fried gothic, filled to the rafters with avarice, multiple murders, and madness. Ms. Moorehead is her usual impeccable self, as is Will Geer...
