Clara's On the Curtains

Clara's On the Curtains
The curtain is about to go up on the Women's Guild variety and dramatic show when one of the leads loses her voice. This is the start of a series of calamities, not lessened by well meant but embarrassing offers of help. At the last moment all is well, and Clara even learns how to work the curtains.

Good Night Mrs Puffin

Good Night Mrs Puffin
The Fordyces are busily preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter Jacky to Victor, son of Stephen Parker, with whom Henry Fordyce is planning a business merger. Then in walks a total stranger Mrs. Puffin who announces she saw in a vision that Jacky would not marry Victor. She then establishes her vision's accuracy by correctly predicting various hilarious domestic accidents. She also predicts Jacky will marry the young business associate, Roger Vincent, who has accompanied the Parkers to the Fordyce home. She also foretells Victor will ask release from the engagement as he's in love with Jacky's younger sister. The oracle proves to be amazingly accurate no wonder she's been carefully primed for her role as suburban seeress. Wonderful play for little theatres.

Nasty Things, Murders

Nasty Things, Murders
The four ladies in the Home for Retired Gentlewomen are upset when their TV breaks down at the climax of a real life murder drama. They talk about the murder. To the horror of three of them, it appears that the fourth, gentle Mary, may have been the murderess. When Mary leaves the room, the others consult the Matron as to what steps should be taken; however, on Mary's return a most unexpected telephone conversation sets their fears at rest and leaves them feeling rather foolish. But after they have gone and Mary is left alone, her behavior is strange, to say the least.
