When widower Tony Manetta has money worries, he seeks help from his wealthy brother and his wife, who regard him as a worthless dreamer, who's too irresponsible to look after his young son. Instead of giving him a loan, they travel to Florida to take the boy away from him. Then the couple comes up with another solution: finding Tony a suitable widow to wed. Their neat little plan runs into obstacles, however -- like Tony's girlfriend. Besides, Tony has a dream of his own that he's willing to work towards... no matter how much of a long shot it is.
