The McGarry twins, Norman and Barry have retired. Their wives, Val and Marion, think they need something to do apart from bowling.

They come up with a plan to buy an apartment abroad, but haven't quite enough capital. Not to be beaten they conceive a plan for their husbands to work for a few months by doing odd jobs for lonely widows. This would build up the extra income required.

They could even include Gary their daughter's jobless boyfriend.
Funnily enough the husbands come up with the same idea, but their idea entails the ladies forming a business to do exactly the same. These separate plans are kept secret until they can all meet over a drink. Who will win the battle of the sexes? I'm sure you'll guess.
