Annie (Bette Davis), an aging apple-seller, passes herself off as a woman of wealth in order to impress her daughter. Young Louise (Ann-Margret) has just returned from years in Spain and hopes to marry into the well to-do family of a Count. Assisting Annie in her comic charade is a motley group of small-time-gangsters who love Annie and would do anything to help her. Director Frank Capra re-made his own LADY FOR A DAY for this, his final film.
