Maddy Stone, a peripatetic wheeler-dealer who would have made Auntie Mame wilt with envy, suddenly finds herself a widow after an especially heavy afternoon of amour. In fact, her husband literally expires inflagrente delecto.
Quickly taking stock of her assets and liabilities, Maddy discovers that she has just enough money for three more years of high living and two teenage daughters who are being raised in a strict finishing school catered to by neglectful
mothers. Maddy pulls her daughters out of school and ever mindful of her three year limit embarks on a crash program to groom and prepare her lovely offspring into snaring the wealthy. Maddy’s motto is quite succinct: “…either get a proposal or get pregnant!’
Maddy’s two daughters are as different as two girls could be. Penny is serious, cynical and intelligent. She is constantly challenging her mother’s “game plan.” Cissy, on the other hand, is Candy, Little Annie Fannie and any other super nymphette you may have heard of all rolled into one and to her Maddy’s program is going to be one big (no pun intended) ball.
Once they have been schooled in the arts of attracting the opposite sex with special emphasis on how to make it in the bedroom (as brought about by a stud-tutor who is an old friend of Maddy’s) the two girls and their mother take off on a quest for quick security before the well runs dry.
