Remake della storica serie antologica ideata da Alfred Hitchcock e andata in onda trent'anni prima, nel 1955.

A man living in rural Wisconsin takes care of his bed-ridden mother, who is very domineering and teaches him that all women are evil. After she dies, he misses her, and a year later digs her up and takes her home. He learns about taxidermy and begins robbing graves to get materials to patch her up, and inevitably begins looking for fresher sources of materials. Based loosely on the true story of Ed Gein.

Due teppisti, Trigger (Mickey Rooney) e Leo (Dick Emery) vengono assunti dallo spregiudicato J.K. (Peter Cook) per rapire sua nipote Victoria (Alexandra Bastedo). La figlia di un ricco uomo d'affari è stata rapita e il capo della polizia, sotto molte pressioni per trovarla il prima possibile, incarica gli agenti Kopek (John Candy) e Broom (Lawrence Dane) di rintracciarla e riportarla indietro sano e salvo.

Hero (Alan Gordon), un'anima pia sempre pronta ad aiutare chiunque ne abbia bisogno, si innamora di Leander (Sylvia Feigel), la donna più ricca del mondo.

SUMMER'S CHILDREN is the story of a young man who tries to escape his troubled home and sister to find a new life for himself. He takes on a new job and enters into new relationships, but his sister pursues him in a cat and mouse game, getting into trouble in the city's seedy underground. In a series of flashbacks, we discover the reasons for his initial departure, as he and his sister try to find a peaceful resolution to their feelings about each other.
