Professor Lawrence Mackay (David Niven) and his wife, Kate (Doris Day) are struggling with four small boys in a tiny, two-bedroom apartment in New York City. They decide to look for a house in the country, but the only thing they can afford is a run-down mansion 70 miles away by train. Larry has left his professorship at the university to become a drama critic for a major New York paper.
