Plot[]
Two bank robbers are seduced into confronting their worst fears.
Summary[]
Bank robber Jimmy wakes from a nightmare to find himself in a seedy hotel room, where he waits to contact his boss, Mr. Ryan. Jimmy and his accomplice, O'Brien, killed two cops during the robbery, but the murders don't bother Jimmy – his nightmares are about white flowers. Jimmy arranges for Cynthia and Barbara to help them while away the time.
Cynthia and O'Brien make love in the room next door. Afterwards, Cynthia removes a gun and silencer hidden in a hollowed-out Bible and waits for the bound and blindfolded O'Brien to wake up. Meanwhile, Barbara quizzes Jimmy about his fear of white flowers. Jimmy tells her about a childhood neighbor, reputedly a witch. It was rumored that she could predict the last thing on Earth a man would see. On a dare, Jimmy broke into her house to steal the fortune that was supposed to be stashed beneath her bed. The old woman caught him and told him the last thing he would see would be a white flower.
In the other room, O'Brien wakes and Cynthia shoots him. Jimmy calls Mr. Ryan and tells him the robbery didn't go as planned: O'Brien was killed before they could get the money. This scam is a double-cross dreamed up by Barbara. Cynthia rejoins them in their room, points her gun at Jimmy and demands all the loot. Barbara shoots her. Jimmy feels woozy and realizes that Barbara poisoned the whiskey he has been drinking. Barbara points her gun at Jimmy and pulls the trigger. The last thing he sees is the flame bursting from the barrel of the gun, looking exactly like... a white flower.
Opening segment[]
"Money. It's been said it is the root of all evil. Well, tonight, in this seedy hotel room, two men are about to find out that it's the devil's honest truth – that when the fickle finger of fate points in your direction, the most innocuous omen may be the harbinger of doom, and it may come in the most enticing package with a heart that beats of pure deceit. So tonight, I bequeath to you 'The White Flower'."
