Don
Patrick is in love! The problem is, the rich, aging ex-Mafia
crew boss is in love with Nora, his nephew, Ernie’s, fiancée,
and a girl young enough to be his granddaughter! Because the
beautiful Nora is so warm and friendly to him, Don thinks that
she’s in love with him, too! Don confides this to his best
friend, a younger man, Dr. Bill Maltese.
The
doctor is shocked by his old friend’s thinking, so he talks Nora
into passing herself off as “Sophie,” a fictitious half-sister
of the doctor’s, who he tells Don has been raised in a convent
and is madly in love with him and actually wants to marry him.
Don immediately forgets about Nora and goes through with a sham
wedding. But just as soon as the ceremony is over, “Sophie”
turns into a henpecking shrew and a spendthrift.
But
just when it seems like the farce is working Don decides to
prove himself to Sophie by buying a five-story green building
and going into the antiques business. Despite his total
ignorance of his trade, everything goes great!
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in Goose Creek, Alaska a
giant grizzly bear devours an animal rights activist and his
girlfriend. Sheriff Ajax Kincaid is unable to hunt the beast
down because of pressure from the national media and PETA.
Closer to home, WJIZ productions is desperately trying to
replace the loss of its biggest customer—The Gulden’s Mustard
Hour.
How
do these seemingly unrelated events have anything to do with
Don, Nora/Sophie and Ernie?
You’re guaranteed to be surprised and amused to find out!
