Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

Allegedly based on a real incident, this crime drama begins in San Francisco with a middle-aged man answering the doorbell. He is alone, as his wife and kids are away for the weekend. There he finds two attractive young women who ask to use his phone. Once they get into the house, they do in fact use the phone, but they also make a running commentary on his house and its furnishings, an action which seems a tad inappropriate. The two slightly odd women seduce him and stay the night. In the morning, their behavior again seems rather bizarre, and his angry attempt to get them to leave the house after they lasciviously smear ketchup and syrup has unfortunate consequences.
