Three sisters, all widows, live in an upper crust neighborhood in Anytown, USA. They're svelte seventy-somethings. The eldest, Nina, offs a burglar in the middle of the night in her kitchen. The three sisters skillfully ward off police and the neighbors about the "microwave exploding" after they all heard the gunshot. They all live in a huge mansion. Nina, a Mafiosi lawyer's widow, rents out apartments that's she converted in the house to other eclectic tenants.

Nina and Olga, were former hitwoman for a European government. Flossie, their meek sister, is a church going, God fearing woman who prays all the time. Olga, also a widow, still lives in Europe but spends most of her time in the USA. All are in tip-top condition. Family keeps them together in covering up for Nina.

A series of snafus ensue. Their scheme to toss the dead intruder without getting caught turns into one harebrained adventure after the next. A surprising twist happens at the end when meek and mild Flossie takes the bull by the horns. She solves the "corpse problem" for once and for all. Family must stick together. Who would have thought it would be the saintly sister, Flossie? Go Flossie! All is well that ends well. Hip - Hip Hooray!
