Chicago psychologist Bob Hartley, and his wife Emily, deal with day to day life and the eccentrics that pass through their personal and professional lives.

Howard's son wants to become a standup comedian, and enrolls in a low-rent comedy school run by Mickey Melnick. All seems harmless until Howard tells him he's too young to join Melnick's road show, and young Howie runs away.

(1942).
