Synopsis:
Joe Henderson, a hard-working but rather tight-fisted widower, lives with his daughter, Mary, in the grimy, English mill town of Brimley. Joe's two married sisters, Alice and Jane, also reside in Brimley, as have all of their family - with the exception of three black sheep uncles who were asked to leave town some fifty years earlier. But now one of the uncles, Robert Oldfreld, has written to announce his intention of coming back to Brimley to end his days and Joe, learning that the old man has amassed a fortune, decides to offer him a home. His sisters are easily hoodwinked into letting Joe take over the "family obligation," until they, too, find out about Uncle Robert's money - at which point the bickering begins. When the old gentleman arrives he finds that he is to be shuttled back and forth from home to home, but the mood of energetic cordiality rapidly dissipates when it is discovered that their guest is not Uncle Robert at all, but his ne'er-do-well brother, Emmanuel. A promise being a promise Joe take
