Madeline is married to Ernest, who was once her arch-rival Helen's fiancé. After recovering from a mental breakdown, Helen vows to kill Madeline and steal back Ernest. Unfortunately for everyone, the introduction of a magic potion causes things to be a great deal more complicated than a mere murder plot.

“i wonder if james dean will show up? surely not he’s not as recognisable as those guys!!”
“lmfao jim morrison!!”
“that’s a nice car”
“wait. that’s not what i think it is?”
“WAIT THE LITTLE BASTARD”
“HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS JAMES DEAN”
