Cary Grant and Myrna Loy live in a small apartment in New York with their two young girls. They decide to buy a run down house in Conneticut and end up knocking it down and building a new one. Costs escalate and things go wrong. Cary Grant and and Myrna Loy are entertaining as the harrassed couple with some good comic moments as when Myrna Loy is describing the colour of paint she wants in the different rooms.
