Considering his previous lack of matrimonial success (specifically, he was jilted at the altar), handyman Eb (Tom Lester) surprises one and all by announcing his plans to marry the toothsome Lorelei Appleby (played by Melody Patterson of F Troop fame). Reluctantly elected as "father of the groom," Oliver (Eddie Albert) is expected to foot all the expense of the upcoming wedding. But worse is still to come: Oliver must also act as mediator between Eb and his grouchy future father-in-law (portrayed by veteran character actor John Qualen of Grapes of Wrath and Casablanca fame).
