Synopsis
I'll Leave it to You
Published by Samuel French Ltd
4 Male 6 Female
Uncle Dan arrives to find an idle family ready to live on his money
He announces that he is doomed to die in three years and that he will leave his money to the member of the family who has made good by then
Each sets to with such determination that Oliver becomes a successful inventor, Evangeline a novelist, Bobbie a composer and Sylvia a film star; even Joyce, finishing her school career, distinguishes herself
Now he tells the family his riches are a myth and his previous announcement was only a means to raise the family from lethargy
Sylvia alone sees Uncle Dan's wisdom and berates the others for their narrow minded attitude
At heart, they are all genuinely attached to the wily uncle
