When merry widow Josephine O'Mara takes a holiday at Sunnyside Holiday Camp and wins the Glamorous Grandmother Contest, she delights her young-at-heart mother, but angers her two snobbish daughters Betty and Deirdre. When Josephine's two gossipy neighbours who are also widows, upmarket Mrs. Patricia Harris and Mrs. Agnes Tracy, call in to 'congratulate' her on her return home, the ladies cannot control their sharp tongues.
