Synopsis:
The scene is an estate cottage in the north of England, where the famous actress, Stella Cavendish, accompanied by her attractive young niece, Mary, is recuperating from a hectic season and a bit too much high living. They are looked after by a cook-housekeeper (and local character) named Wimpi, and are soon joined by Dennis Mordaunt, Stella's producer and would-be suitor, and her fellow actress and arch rival, Flavia Dartega. And in the surprise appearance of Oliver Keane (Stella's former leading man) and his dashing young nephew Peter (who is immediately captivated by Mary), and both the plot and the romantic possibilities quicken. The arrival of the bustling Nurse Pepper rounds out the cast and begins the progression of chilling (and frequently funny) events (including murder, actual and attempted) leading on to the unexpected and ingeniously devised denouement-in which the true identity of the villain is shielded until the last possible moment.

Synopsis:
This uproarious comedy concerns the complications that ensue when a popular television personality comes to a suburban town to open a new supermarket. The Robinsons and their neighbors are average citizens, but when Monica Marshall arrives in their midst the results are mirth provoking and unexpected. The cramped household is increased by Clara Jones, attractive young spinster, whom Monica sets about helping to trap the elusive Mr. Higbee. However, without the aid of her script writer, Monica gets herself and the Robinson family into many hilarious and outrageous situations. Young PFC Ken Robinson, having met Monica at the army camp, has been nursing a deep infatuation for her. This causes Helen, the girl next door, to resort to drastic strategy to regain his interest. Further fun develops when Tim Hayden, ambitious boy-reporter covering the TV star's trip for the local paper, releases the news that she and young Ken are engaged. This brings Ken's Commanding Officer quickly to the scene. He and Monica are sec

Synopsis:
An old maid librarian has saved her money for twenty years, in order to buy a hotel where she can meet interesting people. She purchases a strange tumble-down place near the ocean, and gets what she bargains for-plus a good deal besides. The imperturbable librarian encounters ghosts and secret trunks, she wanders through mysterious situations and thunderstorms, she meets with drama and comedy, the living and the dead, and somehow manages to emerge at the end none the worse for her extraordinary experience.

Synopsis:
A delightful scatterbrained maiden lady runs a boarding-house. Out of her goodness, Cordelia has adopted two girls-Candy and Gloria-practically adopted a delightful sea captain, and the "Professor" -both of them, like herself, impractical. Chiefly the play revolves round the efforts of an amusing band of bank robbers to elude the police in nearby Boston and get away with $10,000 in cash, which is brought to Cordelia's home by the Misses Amity and Priscilla Haines, who take rooms as respectable school teachers. To Cordelia's home also come Smiley, a sad-faced thug, Joey, a petty gangster, and the "Deacon," a fellow with much false piety and a benign manner. The gangsters, having seized the money stolen by the "brains" of the band, attempt to hide from their leader and keep the money themselves. Boston Benny, the "brains," unexpectedly appears, and tries to get even with his partners. Up to now Cordelia, vainly trying to organize her boarding-house on systematic principles, thinks that all the nice ladies and g
