The Curious Savage

A heartwarming comedy about life at The Cloisters, a quiet and relaxed mental health facility. "The Curious Savage" is at once humorous, thought-provoking, and tenderhearted. The patients at The Cloisters seem almost normal compared with three high-powered members of the wealthy Savage family intent on cheating their newly committed mother out of her fortune. Mrs. Savage and her newfound friends, however, have other ideas entirely.
Mrs. Ethel P. Savage is being institutionalized because she's showing signs of foolishness with her fortune. Her greedy stepchildren are putting her into The Cloisters so that they can regain control of the money. In this wacky hospital, she befriends five inmates: motherly Florence; flighty Fairy May; shy and tortured Jeffrey; statistics victim Hannibal; and the nearly catatonic Mrs. Paddy. When it is discovered that Mrs. Savage has in fact liquidated her assets into bonds and hidden them, the battle is on between the "crazy" inmates and the "sane" spoiled children, while moderated by Dr. Emmett and her assistant Miss Willie.
