New York City
John Patrick’s The Curious Savage is a comedy that is curiously funny and curiously touching, too. Mrs. Savage is an elderly lady with a fortune, who wants to spend her money enabling people to do the odd and impractical things for which they have always yearned. So her practical stepchildren want to put her away until she has
surrendered her millions to them. However, the relatives are confounded when the lady likes her fellow inmates so much that she hates to leave the sanitorium.
