At Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage in the English countryside, five elderly people live together in rancorous disharmony.
Adela Bastable bosses the house, as her brother Bernard passes his days thinking up malicious schemes against the baby-talking Marigold and secret drinker Shorty, while kindly George lies bedridden upstairs.
