Bernie on tositapahtumiin perustuva musta komedia teksasilaisesta pikkukaupungista ja sen Bernie-nimisestä asukkaasta, josta kaikki pitävät. Bernie on hautaustoimiston myyntitykki, todennäköisesti homoseksuaali, joka ehkä osittain tästä syystä viihtyy erityisen hyvin hiljattain leskeytyneiden vanhojen rouvien kanssa. Eräs näistä rouvista on kaupungin rikkain asukas, jota kaikki vihaavat. Bernie ja leskirouva ystävystyvät, mutta pian naisesta tulee niin omistavainen, että Bernie joutuu tilapäisen mielenhäiriön valtaan ja tappaa naisen. Seuraavat kuukaudet hän yrittää uskotella ihmisille naisen olevan yhä elossa, mutta totuus tulee lopulta paljastumaan. - Elokuva on eri tyylilajien rajapinnan helmi. Se on useissa kohtauksissa yhtä aikaa dokumentaarinen rikoselokuva, oikeussalidraama ja musta komedia. Ohjaaja Richard Linklater on aina liikkunut ohjauksissaan vaivattomasti eri lajityypeissä, ja Bernie on hämmentävä mutta looginen yhdistelmä ohjaajan aikaisempia töitä.
