- Synopsis:
- This delightful comedy tells the story of three old ladies who take matters firmly into their own hands when officialdom threatens their friendship. Dora (Sybil Thorndike), Rosie (Kathleen Harrison) and Mabel (Estelle Winwood), room mates at a home for elderly ladies, discover they are to be split up and placed in other homes. Dismayed by the prospect of separation, they decide to run away together. Heading for a remote island off the Irish coast where it seems they can live without the fear of being parted, the three fugitives quickly turn the situation to their advantage!
