Former professional athlete Tony Micelli and his daughter, Samantha, arrive at the upper class household of executive Angela Bower, where Tony has taken a job as a live-in housekeeper. When they arrive, Angela is uptight and obsessed with her work, her son Jonathan is shy and lacks self-esteem, and her mother, Mona, is a man-hungry vixen. Tony soon wins them over with his laid-back style, and the Bowers begin to loosen up, in spite of themselves.
