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.
