Buck Russell is not the most reliable and trustworthy person around, and when Cindy Russell (his sister in law) and Bob Russell (his brother) use him as a last resort to babysit their children Miles, Maizy and Tia (who is a rebellious 16 year old), Buck agrees to fill in while Cindy and Bob go to Indianapolis to visit Cindy's ill father. While over at the house, Buck does his usual routines including going to smoky bowling alleys and smoking cigars. Yet, the longer and longer he is around with Miles and Maizy and the more he witnesses Tia slowly get seduced by her boyfriend Bug, Buck learns responsibility and more to life than just being an eligible bachelor and having fun.

Buck plays part of the theme from "The Twilight Zone" (1959) on the piano just before he smashes the plate.

[Buck's beat-up old car pulls up]


Bug:
Ever hear of a tune-up? Hee hee hee hee hee.


Buck:
Ah, heh heh heh. Ever hear of a ritual killing? Ah, heh heh heh heh heh


Bug:
I don't get it.


Buck:
You gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one. Ah, heh heh heh heh!

Continuity: When the teacher is asking the class a question and Maisy raises her hand, a girl in the background can be seen with a book and a box of crayons on her desk. In the next shot of Maisy, the crayons and book are missing.
