What is a self-sacrificing single mum to do when her only son falls for a female who is the epitome of everything a mother must hate?

She tries bribery, but as soon as the money has been spent the harpy reappears and resumes her interrupted love affair with 20-year-old junior.

Finally all the desperate mum can think of doing is selling the family silver and spending the proceeds on a hit man capable of getting rid of the nightmare of a daughter-in-law once and for all.
