Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at 30 and facing diminishing marital prospects. Meg, 27, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazelhurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast. Babe, 24, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, which are grave yet hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin Chick, 29; Barnett Lloyd, 26, the awkward lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while falling in love with her; and Doc Porter, 30, Meg’s old boyfriend. </b></span></p>
