What happens
The Carlton family, a group of charming but penniless con artists, flees the French Riviera after their scheme unravels. On a train they meet Ellen Fortune, a gentle elderly woman, and they become her houseguests in England. Richard Carlton and his sister George Ann begin to plan how to stay in her good graces, while George Ann struggles with her feelings for a Scotsman named Duncan McCray. This play from the Lux Radio Theatre series is adapted from a 1940 motion picture, and the cast includes Donna Michie, Ida Lupino, Mae Robson and Helen Wood. The episode aired on February 5, 1940.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
