Hairdresser Ginger-Nell Hollyhock's way to cure loneliness is using a newspaper ad to recruit her family. Filling the positions were con-artist hubby Ed Murtaugh, tap-dancing daughter Anna, a son named Junior, and an elderly grandfather.

This comedy set in Depression-era Kansas City was based around a single hairdresser's unique approach to curing her loneliness: putting an ad in the newspaper and recruiting the folks who met her criteria to be her new family. Filling the new positions were con-artist husband Eddie, tap-dancing daughter Anna-Marie, a son known only as Junior, and an elderly grandfather.—Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
