Home Is Where the Hart Is

The story centers on Belle Haimes, a nurse and con artist living with her husband Rex in the Hart Mansion in British Columbia. Belle is tasked with caring for the 103-year-old Slim Hart, known as Pappy, and his comatose wife Minnie. However, she grows tired of her responsibilities and devises a scheme to eliminate Mrs. Hart and kidnap Pappy.

As Belle's plans unfold, the comedy arises from the unexpected complications that ensue. The film features a cast that includes Valri Bromfield, Stephen E. Miller, and Leslie Nielsen, adding to its comedic appeal. The setting in a mansion, combined with the quirky characters, provides a backdrop for the absurdity of Belle's plot, making it a distinctive entry in the comedy genre of the late 1980s.
