In a spotlessly clean house, a maid who dislikes cleaning, a family of high-class owners, an absurd work transaction, and a joke so perfect it's "Laugh Die Me". Is the joke funnier, or is the fate of her and her owners even more hilarious?

Doctor Lane hires a Brazilian maid, Matilde, who prefers thinking up a "perfect joke" over cleaning. Lane's sister, Virginia, is obsessed with cleaning. By chance, Virginia and Matilde make a deal: bored with life, Virginia decides to secretly clean her sister's house daily, but when discovered, it causes a huge uproar.
