Mrs. Ethel P. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her late husband and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of the efforts of her grown-up stepchildren to get their hands on it. Knowing that the widow's wealth is now in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of it, Mrs. Savage's stepchildren commit her to a "sanatorium" hoping to "bring her to her senses." In the sanatorium she meets various social misfits, men and women who just cannot adjust themselves to life -- people who need the help Mrs. Savage can provide.

The dominant mood is high comedy, and the audience is left with a feeling that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems motivated at times only by greed and dishonesty.
