Synopsis:
Miss Emmeline Lucas, known universally to her friends
as Lucia, is a dreadful snob, but in Miss Elizabeth Mapp
of Mallards, Lucia meets her match. On the surface they
are the most genteel of society ladies but beneath the
veneer of politeness and etiquette lies a bitter and
seething malice. There is no plan too devious, no plot too
cunning, no depths to which they would not sink in order
to win the battle for social supremacy.
Using their deadly weapons of garden parties, bridge
evenings and charming teas, the two combatants strive to
outcharm each other as the vie for the position of toast of
the town.
