Wilf is strongly opposed to Arlette’s plans to sell the farm and move to Omaha. He decides to convince Henry to help murder Arlette, holding Henry’s girlfriend, Shannon, whose relationship Arlette opposes, at stake. Henry reluctantly agrees to assist his father in carrying out the murder. Wilf pretends to agree to the sale, appeasing Arlette. As she celebrates, she becomes inebriated. After Wilf carries her to bed in a drunken stupor, Henry covers her face while Wilf cuts her throat with a butcher’s knife. Wilf dumps her body into a dry well where her corpse is soon fed upon by rats. The next day, they drop a cow into the well to hide Arlette’s body and provide a reason for filling in the well. Sheriff Jones is suspicious following her sudden disappearance; he searches the house, but finds no proof of a crime, tentatively believing Wilf’s story that his wife absconded. 1922 2017 full Movie Download
