Description

In a breezy summer at Lake Penzance, three spirited women answer a sudden summons to care for a young, headstrong guest in the remote Morris Valley. Led by the indefatigable Tish—an experienced motorist who prefers a wrench to a tea kettle—they arrive in a rattling automobile, ready to tinker, race, and defy the expectations of their small‑town world. The opening scenes blend slapstick mishaps, quick‑witted banter, and a hint of rebellion against the era’s rigid social norms.

As they settle into the eccentric cottage, Tish’s practical know‑how clashes with the genteel proprieties of their charge, while her nephew Charlie and the ever‑practical Aggie add comic tension. Listeners are drawn into a lively tableau of oil‑stained gloves, whispered schemes, and the promise of an unscripted journey across the valley’s winding roads. The story captures the thrill of early automobile adventures and the bold spirit of a woman who refuses to be confined by convention.
