Newlyweds Robert and Gloria thought it would be so simple: just buy the house and move in, right? Wrong. It takes a heap o' livin' to make a house a home so they call in a grudgingly affable painter, hire a bold-as-brass decorator, and then Robert has to wheedle a furniture loan out of a lecherous and bureaucratic Mr. Faversham.

A musical fantasy set in heaven's Baby Department, Robert and Gloria think they're expecting. The problem in heaven is that the baby dispatcher can't convince Robert, Jr. that it's time to be born.
