Fed up with the pressures and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven and settles down to write her autobiography. She just wants some peace and quiet and she wants to grow tomatoes. However, she has several crazy neighbors, a loyal agent, and an ax-carrying handyman who keep her from her appointed task. Hilarity ensues.
