What happens

Susan's Plan (also released as Dying to Get Rich on video) is a 1998 American black comedy film written and directed by John Landis and starring Nastassja Kinski, Dan Aykroyd, Billy Zane, Rob Schneider, Lara Flynn Boyle and Michael Biehn. The plot revolves around Susan Holland (Kinski)'s plan to kill her former husband Paul with the help of a group of misfits and collect his life insurance. The film was screened at the AFI Film Festival in 1998, but due to poor audience reactions, Susan's Plan was released straight to video in 2000 by Full Moon Features, under the Edge Entertainment label.
