The ne'er-do-well in question is Albert, a charming yet irresponsible man who has been living off his wealthy wife's fortune for too long. However, when he finds himself in dire financial straits, he comes up with a desperate plan to inherit his wife's money: he will murder her and make it look like an accident.
Albert enlists the help of his butler, a former convict who is only too happy to assist him in exchange for a cut of the money. Together, they set about planning the perfect murder, but things don't go quite as smoothly as they hoped.
Meanwhile, Albert's wife, Elena, is becoming increasingly suspicious of her husband's behavior and begins to fear for her safety. She confides in her best friend, who encourages her to get to the bottom of things before it's too late.
Aspirante vedovo is a darkly comedic take on the classic murder mystery genre, with plenty of twists and turns to keep the audience guessing until the very end. It's a story about greed, betrayal, and the lengths some people will go to in order to get what they want.
