Edna’s plan was to retire in peace, but the reality is that her husband Norman just can’t sit still. He’s sending out resumes, proposing business plans, and chasing after every make-it-rich business scheme that comes along. His newest Big Idea is to be the John Wilkes Rockefeller of irregular socks. And just when he and his business partner are about to figure out the details, a new neighbor, Rosemary arrives on the scene, and things just get crazier. First, Rosemary has information that inspires his next method for making a buck — suing the Rockhard Rower Company. Second, Rosemary is an old flame of Norman’s, sending Edna into fits of jealousy. And finally, to add to the hilarity, Rosemary’s son Raymond is not only an ideal match for their daughter Marcie, the two young love birds are on opposite sides of the Rockhard Rower dispute. A settlement to any of these issues seems impossible. The reality is, just like Jack Benny, Norman’s not 39 anymore.
