Synopsis
Terry Early’s announcement that he and Susan intend to marry rouses the fury of his overbearing mother Alice. Alice’s sudden demise, following her handling of a faulty electric kettle, promises a peaceful solution. But Alice as a vengeful ghost is even more formidable than as a live wife and mother. Much drama ensues in which both families are involved before Alice’s ashes can be persuaded to lie quiet in her urn.
