Her nephew, Randy, suspects that Voorhees is a fraud who intends to steal his aunt's fortune. But when the fortune teller's prophecies start coming true, the young man fears that Voorhees is indeed what he seems...and his next prediction is Randy's death. \"A Promise to Murder\" is based on the classic 1897 Oscar Wilde short story, \"Lord Arthur Savile's Crime\".
