SYNOPSIS

Tycoon Anthony P. Kirby fully expects that his son Tony will follow in his footsteps, but Tony’s only real interest is in his secretary and fiancée Alice. His parents are appalled that he wants to marry a stenographer but to humour him agree to dine with her family. This is doomed from the start, as they are a collection of free spirits with little visible means of support presided over by Alice’s wise grandfather. It also turns out that buying their house is key to Tony Snr’s latest mega-project.
