Californian widower Joel Wallace, a successful businessman, is a great catch in a grand mansion, but absorbed by his work. His daughter Felice (9) writes to a TV Christmas special, hoping for a 'new mammy'. After failing to bring his girlfriend in as holiday nanny, Joel, agrees to reluctantly let reporter Mary Maloney's team shoot in their home, Felice's wish. He hastily has to hire an agency minder- former variety artist Les Turner, a 'governor' with a magic touch to everyone's taste, not limited to child-minding.
