Just like Jack Bauer on 24, Mr. French (Sebastian Cabot) suffers through one of those days where everything goes wrong. Disaster piles upon disaster: Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) gets paint all over his clothes, a vacuum-cleaner bag is spilled on the carpet, and poor French takes an embarrassing pratfall in a public park. Finally, when Bill (Brian Keith) announces that he's bringing a last-minute guest to a meticulously prepared dinner party, the normally unflappable French blows his top--and it isn't a pretty sight!
