Plot

Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell is a 17-year-old Los Angeles high school graduate who cannot afford to accompany her friends to Europe for the summer. When her divorced mother leaves for an Australian vacation with her boyfriend, Swell looks forward to a summer of freedom with her siblings Kenny, Zach, Melissa, and Walter. Much to the kids' dismay, their mother hires a live-in babysitter named Mrs. Sturak, a seemingly sweet elderly woman who assures Mrs. Crandell that she can take care of all five children.

As soon as Mrs. Crandell leaves, Mrs. Sturak shows her true colors as a tyrant, quickly drawing the ire of the children. However, she soon has bad reactions to the shockingly-raunchy posters and hideous furnishings in Kenny's room. After Swell discovers Mrs. Sturak having died in her sleep in a chair, the kids worry that their summer of freedom will be cut short if they notify the authorities. They resolve to stuff Mrs. Sturak's body in a trunk, dropping it off at a local mortuary with a note that reads "Nice Old Lady Inside, Died
