Elwood Martin (
Gordon Jones), a brash extrovert with an aversion to work come to live with Walt Wallet (
Don Beddoe) and his wife, Phyllis (
Madelon Baker). He blunders about their house, and the diner owned by Corky Wallet (
Scotty Beckett) and the fix-it shop belonging to Skeezix Wallet (
Jimmy Lydon), creating havoc at every stop. Corky and his kid sister, Judy Wallet (
Patti Brady) decide the only way to save the Wallet family from bankruptcy and insanity is to persuade the free-loading Elwood to move on. The latter then fakes an injured back.
