Beschreibung
Opal Kronkie, a middle-aged recluse, lives in a tumbledown mansion. at the edge of the municipal dump. The general disarray of her. establishment is aggravated by the fact that Opal collects things-. anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon. Opal is also an. optimist, for no matter how mean her lot-or her "friends"-Opal. responds with unfailing kindness and an abiding faith in the goodness. of human nature. Into her rather strange world comes Gloria, Bradford,. and Solomon, three purveyors of bogus perfume on the lam from the. authorities. Opal's menage is the perfect hideout-and Opal, herself,. might be the remedy for their shattered finances. They decide that. what she needs is plenty of insurance, a rapid demise, and three. beneficiaries named Gloria, Bradford, and Solomon. Attempted. murder wouldn't seem to be funny, but in Mr. Patrick's magic hands it. is uproarious. The unsavory trio concoct an elaborate scheme to drop. the ceiling on Opal's unsuspecting head-but she is in the cellar at the. time; they try to drug her and set the house on fire-but Opal's state. trooper friend arrives at the wrong (or right) moment; a plan for a "hit. and run" accident backfires. Through it all, Opal radiates kindness,. affection and, strangely enough, gratitude. But the real clincher comes. at the end. It seems that there was plenty of money around all the time;. bags, barrels, and mooseheads full of it, in fact, and any friend of Opal's. is welcome to as much as he wants. All they had to do was ask.
