Denise's friend Susanne comes over to write a report on what a large family deals with, but Theo uses the occasion to try and impress her but ends up making a fool of himself.

Denise is determined to spend her savings on the first car she sees, and balks when her father forbids her to buy an expensive lemon. But the bargain-conscious Cliff becomes a wheeler-dealer when the family handyman, Mr. Lucas, offers to sell Denise his aunt's old car. Also, Cliff informs a middle-aged couple that they are going to have a baby, which comes as a shock to them, as they already have a five-year-old grandson! David Langston Smyrl as Mr. Lucas.
