To ensure that Philomène can stay in France, Georges arranges for her to marry a Frenchman who conveniently dies of natural causes a month after the wedding. Catherine, Philomène's sister, is married off by Georges in a similar scheme, this time to an elderly man who unexpectedly dies, so that Georges, Philomène, and their accomplice can collect on the man's life insurance.
