About the Show: Opal Kronkie is a middle aged recluse. She is also an eternal optimist always responding with unfailing kindness to all no matter how mean and hateful they may be. Into her strange world comes Gloria, Bradford and Solomon, three purveyors of bogus perfume on the lam from the authorities. Opal's mansion if a perfect hideout and Opal, herself, might be the remedy for their shattered finances. They decide that she needs plenty of insurance, a rapid demise, and beneficiaries named Gloria, Bradford and Solomon. Their attempt at murder is uproariously funny. The comedy is physical and fast paced with a surprise ending.
