Storyline: Fanny is 22 years old, but her parents will not let her use makeup, choose her own clothing or date boys, and she has had it up to here over it. Running up to the attic, she discovers an old hatchet, and a plan forms in her mind. Later, a detective investigates the murder of both of Fanny's parents and she pleads that she is innocent, that it was the hatchet that killed them. Later, Edith Vance tells her husband that Fanny may be right, as that hatchet was the same one used by Lizzie Borden to kill her father and step mother. Then they noticed their son had the hatchet and was coming for them.
