Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband and wants to make the best use of it, despite the efforts of her grown-up stepchildren to get their hands on it. These latter, knowing that the widow's wealth is now in negotiable securities and seeing they cannot get hold of it, commit her to a "sanatorium," hoping to "bring her to her senses." In the sanatorium she meets various social misfits, men and women who cannot adjust themselves to life, people who need the help Mrs. Savage can provide. The self-seeking stepchildren are distracted by their vain efforts to browbeat Mrs. Savage, but she preserves her equanimity and leads them on a merry chase. The dominant mood is high comedy, and the audience feels 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.
