Joey Barnes hosts a network, late-night New York talk show. Episodes revolve around his professional and personal life, with celebrities appearing as themselves. At home are Joey's beautiful wife Ellie, and maid Hilda. Joe Besser costars as Mr. Jillson, the building superintendent, a high-strung man with a heart of gold, and a never-seen wife who is only heard yelling "Jillson!" through the building's ventilation system. Rounding out the main characters is Larry Corbett, Joey's best friend, head writer and manager.
A telegram from Ellie's Aunt Cecilia informs the Barnes she wants to stay in their guestroom for two weeks. Joey won't stand for that, and cooks up a scheme with Larry who pretends to break his leg in the apartment, and then must stay in the guestroom to recuperate. The plan seems to work, until Ellie calls a doctor.
