Low-born Monty Navarro discovers he's the eighth in line to the well-to-do D'Ysquith family, and -- in an effort to hurry things along -- sets about whittling that number down in this hilarious and slightly macabre musical. Can Monty get all his relatives out of the way, marry the girl of his dreams, and get away with (multiple) murders to become the next Earl of Highhurst?
