Robert Sterling (from the old show Topper) is a cad. He rescues a little boy played by spooky Billy Mumy. The family shows their gratitude by allowing hime to stay with them. He is an irresponsible jerk and becomes a constant source of trouble. But this is only the start when his flirting with women, especially the wife of another man, drags the family into a potentially deadly situation. It's sort of fun if you don't think too much the realities of the whole thing. The ending is a bit hard to swallow. One thing that bothered me was when he gave one of the guys a check as payment. A check is a questionable form of payment because it can be stopped so easily. Remember it is 1962.
