Dolly Rawlins has just been released from prison following 5 years in custody for murdering her husband Harry during a robbery with other women on a security van [see "Widows" (1983) and "Widows 2" (1985)]. Respected within prison circles, Dolly is now seen as a reformed individual. She teams up with ex-convicts including Gloria Radford (who ran a gun-smuggling operation),Ester Freeman (who owned a brothel),Connie Stevens (a prostitute),Julia Lawson (a drug dealer),and Kathleen O'Reilly (an art forger). The group plans to establish a children's home in an abandoned Victorian mansion. However, Dolly intends to carry out one final armed robbery on the mail train. She clashes with her partner Ester over mistrust leading to tragic consequences after an incident involving Mike Withey, the brother of Shirley Miller who died during the previous jewel heist [see "Widows 2" (1985)].
