Fred MacMurray was fresh off the set of "Double Indemnity" when he took on this comic variation of his role. Here, MacMurray plays Pete Marshall, a public opinion surveyor who is drawn into a web of murder, double-crosses, and schemes--amidst the glamour, not of the Hollywood Hills, but of the Ozarks. Marshall is sent to the Ozarks to replace a fellow employee who has been killed by the redneck Fleagles, a family which includes two dimwitted twin sons, a certifiably insane daughter, a ghost, a mother who runs the house with a bullwhip, a young woman posing as an incarcerated relative, and a grandmother who has been poisoned with a radioactive substance that makes her glow in the dark.
