| When Pandora's uncle Jolley dies, she goes back to his house for the reading of his will. She discovers that he has left her his entire estate, to be shared with her cousin by marriage, Michael. They must live together for six months, without being apart for more than 48 hours, or they will lose their inheritance and it will be split between the remaining family, who happen to be a bunch of money hungry people. Pandora and Michael agree, and they begin a long six months.
Before long, the first sparks begin to fly. Despite the insults they hurl at each other, they find themselves attracted. The family finds out about it and are not pleased, so they begin a campaign of vandalism, petty pranks, false telegrams, and more to try to break the terms of the will. These only bring Michael and Pandora clsoer together, and soon they have reluctantly fallen in love. When the six months draws to an end, the pranks go deadly, as poisoned champagne is sent to them. Later, the break lines are drained on their cars and they barely escape. Pandora is hurt, and Michael is furious that the woman he loves has been hurt. They devise a plan to catch the family member responsible, and later find out they were all involved, although only one drained the brakes. Afterwards, Michael and Pandora decide that they will continue living at Jolley's Folley and make a family of their own there. | ||
