The Plague Dogs -- Two dogs escape from a British government research lab. As the authorities hunt down the canine fugitives, the two dogs search for their original master and for a place where they'll be free from the iniquities and cruelties of Mankind.

Bette Davis and Lillian Gish play two elderly sisters who live together in a Maine summer home, where they are periodically visited by their crusty old handyman, their lively neighbor, and a charming Russian gentleman. Gish, however, is finding it difficult to care for her blind and increasingly senile sister.

Libby (Bette Davis) and Sarah (Lillian Gish), two sisters facing the twilight years, ruminate on the paths they've taken in this fascinating drama showcasing a pair of actresses who've delivered some of cinema's golden moments. Although she's blind, Libby shows not an inch of weakness, even as she's cared for by the more forgiving Sarah. Every August, they await the return of migrating whales that grace the coastal area by their home in Maine.

Two dogs escape from a laboratory and are hunted as possible carriers of the bubonic plague.
