A roller coaster of hilarity ensues through loads of naughty laughter, happy tears and even an old Elvis impersonator. Will they catch the villain? What happened to Doctor Head? Will Beatrice ever find a man? One thing is certain...these old broads are not YOUR grandmother...or wait...maybe they are.
