Introduction
Mrs Macleavy is dead and on the day of her funeral the only wish of her lay preacher husband is to see her depart this world with a modicum of dignity, but his vain attempts are continuously thwarted by those gathered to comfort him.
His son Hal, a local rascal with the sexual veracity of a dog on Viagra and morals to match, has with his mate Dennis just pulled a bank job and is looking for a place to stash the 'loot'. Nurse MacMahon, Mrs Macleavy's good Catholic nurse, is certainly not what she appears and could well be offering more than just her nursing services to the assembled company. As they approach the precipice of insanity, the arrival of the sinister Truscot 'Of The Yard' forces them to take a flying leap over the edge, as under his watchful eye disorder turns to chaos with hilarious, if dire, consequences, and a happy ending for some - but not all ...
