Premise
Peter Prentiss (Peter Whitford) is recently married but forever fighting to break with his old bachelor habits – beer, rugby union, poker games and his mates – and while his wife, Molly (June Thody) is very tolerant, she is not beyond devious means to achieve her own ends.
Molly is aided in her constant struggle by her mother, Mrs Malloy (Aileen Britton, one of Australia’s best-known radio actresses), from whom she often accepts help and advice.
Peter could only rely on his dim-witted best mate, Mervyn MacGregor (Donald McDonald), a source of constant disruption and disaster in the Prentiss household.
