Plot

Donald Bridges and his wife Alice have a young son, Andy, who is emotionally disturbed due to a near-drowning accident. The parents frequently argue with each other about how to raise their son until they have uninvited houseguests when a plane carrying Jarvis Moody and Pepper Upper falls from the sky and crashes right onto their roof.
