An elderly couple, Victor Paolo Paoloni and Sarah Bettine Milne, live in a rambling country house filled with clocks of all shapes and sizes. The couples taciturn grounds man Peter Al Cliver is happy enough looking after the slavering pack of dogs the couple own. But the maid Maria Carla Cassola is becoming more and more suspicious of her sinister employers that they are hiding something. Sure enough, she discovers the dead bodies of a moneygrabbing nephew Paolo Bernardi and his wife Francesco De Rose lying preserved in open coffins in the wine cellar. Maria is gorily killed by the elderly Sarah in the greenhouse the next morning while announcing her plans to quit.Meanwhile, three hoodlums, Diana Karina Huff, Tony Keith Van Hoven and Paul Peter Hintz are driving through the area and decide to rob the old couples house after receiving a tipoff from a grocery store owner in a nearby town about the wealth it supposedly contains and the decrepitude of the owners. That evening, Diana cunningly talks her way into the household by pretending that her car has broken down nearby and asks to use the phone. Soon, the phone lines are cut by her male accomplices and they force entry through an open window. Their plans to rob the old couple go badly wrong when Peter intervenes with his shotgun. A bloodbath ensues with Sarah accidentally getting shot, Peter getting killed by Paul, and Victor attacks Tony, forcing Diana to shoot him dead. The young trio are horrified by this turn of events, but decide to bundle the bodies away in a cupboard. ........
