When wealthy recently-widowed suburban housewife, Margery (Penelope Keith) and her rough diamond of a cleaner, Gladys (June Brown), disturb a house burglar, they knock him unconscious, panic and leave him for dead, fleeing in the cleaners wrecked old car. What follows is a comedy of misunderstandings in which these two very different, mature ladies are led on an unfortunate series of incidents which snowballs into a crime spree. They prove to be more than a match for the unlikely pair of policemen, DI Woolley (Roger Lloyd Pack) and DS Stringer (Martin Freeman), who are left to solve the ladies disappearance and puzzling string of crimes which follow.
