Synopsis

"In a world without men, two whimsical old ladies bemoan their boring, unromantic universe.

It is truly a woman's world now, courtesy of an avenging Creator who has wiped the male sex from the face of the earth because of man's war-like nature and invention of the H-bomb.

However, the lovely granddaughter of an especially dominating matriach, has gone searching in the forest for a groundhog, only to discover that she has unearthed the last surviving man, hidden away in a cave in suspended animation.

The dilemma of the only man in a woman's world creates a suspenseful comedy, tinged with a bit of poignancy, and we are left with a charmingly delightful echo of another place and time".
