A glass of elderberry wine, a teaspoon of arsenic, a half teaspoon of strychnine and a pinch of cyanide, shake it with a family of madcap Brewsters, stir in a little romance, wait for Boris Karloff to show up, then call the cops! You might find time to say, "Hilarious!" before they cart you off to Happydale.
