A young widow with three children and a sheepdog marries a widowed man with a young daughter and a French poodle in this amusing comedy. Abby (
Doris Day) is the owner of a lumberyard who falls for Jake (
Brian Keith) when her sister Maxine (
Pat Carroll) introduce the two at a party. The couple is initially reluctant and somewhat embarrassed over the blatant matchmaking attempt but meet later at an all-night store. The two marry and deal with constant canine and sassy sibling rivalries. Jake falls out of the family trailer on vacation, leading Abby to recruit a group of hippies to find her lost husband.
Jamie Farr is the far out hippie,
Barbara Hershey is Jake's daughter Stacey, comedian
George Carlin plays Herbie Fleck, owner of a local hamburger stand, and
Alice Ghostley is the harried housekeeper in this engaging romp.
The Grass Roots provide some of the music in this feature.
