Check out what happened in So I Married an Axe Murderer!
In this captivating tale, we find ourselves in the midst of San Francisco's vibrant cultural scene, where poet laureate Charlie MacKenzie (played by) weaves his emotions into verse. His best friend and confidant Tony, now a rising star on the police force, is convinced that Charlie's fear of commitment is the driving force behind his constant break-ups.
While out running errands for his parents, Stuart and May, Charlie stumbles upon the enchanting Harriet at her butcher shop. The connection between them is palpable, and soon they're embarking on a romantic escapade. As their relationship deepens, Charlie confides in May about his latest heartbreak, and she regales him with tales of "Mrs. X," a mysterious bride who claims the lives of her husbands on their honeymoons using an axe.
Charlie's curiosity is piqued, and he finds himself back at Harriet's shop, offering to lend a hand. Their shared passions and values forge a strong bond between them, and they start dating in earnest. However, Charlie's introduction to Harriet's eccentric sister, Rose, serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of getting too close.
As Charlie delves deeper into Harriet's mysterious past, he discovers that she has ties to Atlantic City and was once involved with a Russian martial arts trainer. Her nocturnal screams for "Ralph" send shivers down his spine. In an effort to allay his concerns, Charlie arranges a dinner date between Harriet and his parents, who affectionately dub her their favorite of all his partners.
Charlie becomes increasingly uneasy as the Mrs. X case unfolds, with victims including a martial arts expert and a man named Ralph. He turns to Tony for insight, only to learn that the killer in question has confessed. With his worst fears alleviated, Charlie apologizes to Harriet by reciting one of his poignant beat poems from her rooftop. As they rekindle their romance, Harriet sheds light on her troubled past, revealing that Ralph is merely a friend she knows.
As the anniversary celebration of his parents' union comes to a close, Charlie takes a bold step by proposing to Harriet, who accepts with a mix of hesitation and trepidation. The newlyweds embark on a serene getaway to a secluded mountain retreat, leaving behind the chaos of everyday life. Meanwhile, Tony's investigative instincts kick in as he uncovers a shocking truth: the self-proclaimed killer is actually a master of deception.
Seizing the opportunity, Tony dispatches a photograph of Harriet to the associates of the missing husbands, and they all confirm that she is indeed their friend's wife. As the storm outside cripples phone communication, Tony takes matters into his own hands by chartering a plane to reach Charlie at the mountain hotel. Upon arrival, he contacts Charlie locally and warns him about Harriet's true identity as Mrs. X, but the hotel's power outage and knocked-out phone lines render his message unheard.
As the night wears on, Charlie becomes increasingly agitated, struggling to maintain his distance from Harriet without arousing her suspicions. The hotel staff, oblivious to the drama unfolding, insist that he spend the first night of their honeymoon in the suite with Harriet. In a desperate bid to escape detection, Charlie locks Harriet in the closet and discovers a letter, purportedly written by himself, explaining his sudden disappearance.
Just as Charlie begins to unravel the tangled web of deceit, Rose emerges wielding an axe, revealing her true identity as the notorious Mrs. X killer. Consumed by a sense of injustice, she believes that Harriet's husbands are stealing away her sister, motivating her to slaughter them on their honeymoon nights and leave behind fabricated letters claiming to be from the husbands themselves. This sinister plot has led Harriet to believe that each husband abandoned her.
Charlie flees in terror as Rose gives chase, eventually leading Tony and the police to the hotel. As they take Harriet into custody, still under the false assumption that she is the killer, Charlie finds himself pursued by Rose up on the hotel roof. In a heart-pumping sequence of events, Charlie outsmarts her, and Tony apprehends Rose, bringing an end to her reign of terror.
In the aftermath, Charlie and Harriet are finally free to resume their lives together, their love stronger than ever despite the chaos that surrounded them.
