Everyone Loves Opal

Opal Kronkie, a middle-aged recluse, lives in a tumbledown mansion at the edge of the municipal dump.

The general disarray of her home is aggravated by the fact that Opal collects things—anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon.

Opal is also an optimist, for no matter how mean her lot—or her “friends” — Opal responds with unfailing kindness and an abiding faith in the goodness of human nature. Into her rather strange world comes Gloria, Bradford and Solomon, three cons selling bogus perfume who are running from the authorities.

Opal’s habitat is the perfect hideout—and Opal, herself, might be the remedy for their shattered finances. They decide that what she needs is plenty of insurance, a rapid demise, and three beneficiaries named Gloria, Bradford and Solomon.

The unsavory trio concocts an elaborate scheme to drop the ceiling on Opal’s unsuspecting head, plan for a “hit and run” accident that backfires, and try to drug her and set the house on fire.

Through it all, Opal radiates kindness, affection and, strangely enough, gratitude.
