Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil are sisters - all three are adopted as babies by Great Uncle Matthew an eccentric and rich explorer … who then disappeared, leaving them in the care of his niece Sylvia.
The girls grow up in comfort and wealth until their money begins to run out and nobody can track Great Uncle Matthew down. At first Sylvia takes in lodgers but soon even that's not enough. Things look bleak until they hit on an inspired idea: Pauline, Petrova and Posy will take to the stage. But it's not long before the Fossils learn that being a star isn't as easy as they first thought …
