The Savage Dilemma
Author(s):
John Patrick
Depressed and world-weary, after extensive travels, the reputedly wealthy Mrs. Ethel Savage returns to the sheltered precincts of The Cloisters, seeking refuge among her former fellow patients. But The Cloisters is on the verge of closing due to lack of funds, and as Mrs. Savage's fortune is now in the control of her greedy stepchildren she is powerless to help. Until, that is, a "hippy" couple storm in bent on robbery--and Mrs. Savage persuades them to "kidnap" her, with her share of the ransom going to the sanitorium. From then on the plot twists and turns delightfully, as one hilarious event follows another, leading in the end to a heart-warming lesson in the essential goodness which lurks somewhere even in the worst (and sanest) of us.
