The hilarity gets underway when Buddy Baker (Justin Krass) appears suddenly at the apartment of his swinging bachelor brother Alan (Jonathan Nelson), having run away from their parents' home on his twenty‐first birthday. Like his older brother, Buddy wants the fun and freedom his domineering parents deny him.
Both young men still work for their father (Gary Simon), a wax fruit wholesaler, who shows up hot on his son's trail. The harried mother (Anne Rodgers Pearl) adds to the angst of the over-protective parents. Complications provide a continual clash between responsibility and the pursuit of leisure. Connie (Karen Symington Muendell), the girl to bring home to the folks, and Peggy (Heather Campbell), the rather dim bombshell who is in direct contrast, complete the cast.

Simon’s semi-autobiographical comedy opened in 1961 for 681 performances and became a hit movie starring Frank Sinatra. Simon’s witty comic romp brims with hilarious, often poignant, family conflicts, resolutions --- and hints of his future successes.
