On stage Leo is condemned to an elderly home crowded by local extras in their third age. But in real life, his wife waits for him - in an elderly home in Belgium.

Обитатели дома престарелых обнаруживают, что если искупаешься в близлежащем бассейне, то начинаешь чувствовать себя совсем молодцом. Но вдруг выясняется, что на дне бассейна хранится чудодейственный кокон, поднятый из глубин океана и принадлежащий инопланетянам, когда — то навестившим Землю, а теперь вернувшимся. Старички резко возжелали омолодиться и увязались в увлекательную, но небезопасную авантюру, которая сопряжена со множеством нарушений и шума.
Отель «Мэриголд» не был бы экзотическим, если бы не поселил двух незнакомых друг с другом людей в один номер; и он не стал бы лучшим, если бы из этого не произошло ничего хорошего.
Прошло много лет с тех пор, как Кейн, Бронсон, Ангус и Венделл сбежали из вьетнамского лагеря военнопленных. Теперь они живут в новой тюрьме - в доме престарелых Хоган-Хиллз для ветеранов. У каждого есть нереализованная мечта, которую они хотят осуществить, пока не стало слишком поздно. Парни снова объединяются, чтобы придумать план побега, но правила ведения боевых действий изменились, а сами они порой их даже не помнят.

Те же бравые старички, которые хотели омолодиться с помощью инопланетной силы, вновь ввязываются в увлекательную, но небезопасную авантюру- ведь чужаки в коконе опять вернулись на Землю, чтобы доставить массу беспокойства ее обитателям.
