Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** Very poor version of the Alfred Hitchcock 1951 classic "Strangers on a Train" has two feeling abused by their husbands women Kathy & Sheryl, Yancy Butler & Laurs Saltis, coming up with this plan to off them and make it look like they, the husbands, were killed by strangers by having air tight alibi's at the time of their murders. At first just talking about doing their husbands in Kathy finds that her so-called cheating husband Dean, William Davry, was in fact true to her and not the laying creep that she thought that he was. By then it was too late with Sheryl blasting him as he went out at night to take a puff from his Cuban cigar.

Now with Kathy having to keep her part of the bargain and whack Sheryl husband stock broker James, Bruce Boxleitner, she gets cold feet but is left hanging in that Sheryl has the goods on her, a secret tape recording, of her secretly and on tape planning her husband's-Dean-murder. Sheryl not letting things stay where they are and in danger of James divorcing her and leaving her penniless is now determined for Chathy to keep her part of the deal in knocking off James or else have her implicated in her own husband Dean's murder that she, Sheryl, in fact committed!

***SPOILERS*** With Cathy's good friend and legal adviser Suzanne, Barbara Niven, helping out she tried to get the evidence to prove that it was all Sheryl's fault in her husband's murder but is beaten to the punch by Sheryl getting her fingerprints on the murder weapon that Sherly used to blast her husband Dean! It was in fact Sheryl's drug addiction and whacked out mental state that in the end worked against her and exonerated Kathy in not only Dean but her own husband James murders. That's when Sheryl messed things up with James about to be killed by a very reluctant, with a gun to head, Cathy who made a brake for it and ended up getting shot and killed by Sheryl by,Ho Ho Ho, accident in all the confusion. Now exposed as both Dean & James murderess all Sheryl could now do is go completely nuts, as well as trying to murder both Kathy & Suzanne, to keep the truth of her actions from seeing the light of day. Only to be subdued, by the police, and sent to the nearest mental facility, not prison, for both confinement-for some 10 to 15 years- as well as for observation and mental treatment .
