Furthermore, Larry suggests that Owen watch Hitchcock’s movies to understand the structure of a suspenseful story. Owen, who wants to kill his detestable mother, watches “Strangers on a Train” and misunderstands Larry’s advice, believing that his teacher wants to swap murders to eliminate the motive. Owen travels to Hawaii and while in a ship, Margaret falls overboard vanishing in the sea and is considered dead.

Chicago resident Chester “Chet” Ripley, his wife Connie, and their two sons Buck and Benny are on vacation at a lake resort in Pechoggin, Wisconsin. Then the unexpected happens — Connie’s sister Kate, Kate’s know-it-all investment broker husband Roman Craig, and Kate and Roman’s twin daughters Mara and Cara crash the vacation, having decided to blow off their own plans to vacation in Europe. Roman proceeds to majorly get on Chet’s nerves — so much that Chet is ready and willing to pack up and go home, even as teenager Buck tries to romance local girl Cammie.
