My Giddy Aunt

Set in Lady Eppingham's house in India where the eccentric but aristocratic Lady lives in a world of fantasy and past glory of the Empire, whilst the run of her tea estate is left in the hands of her unscrupulous nephews. When Beatrice Horrocks- Lady Eppingham's half-sister and illegitimate daughter of her father, Lord Rothbury, and of decidedly lowly birth- arrives to claim her right to manage the estate, the situation devolves into hilarity, as Beatrice slowly but surely sorts everything out and exposes the schemes of her nephews.
