As the Nelson’s get tucked in for the night, a drip keeps Harriet awake. The dozing Ozzie is awakened to go do something about it. After a growing argument over who should get up to turn it off, Harriet resorts to luring Ozzie into her trap of getting him out of bed, and fixing the dripping bathroom sink.
You know how these things go. Returning to the comfort of bed, the faucet begins dripping anew. Good thing Ozzie has his own way of eliminating a little drip. His trickle of water may mean silence, but I feel more costly penalties to pay. How about a flooded bedroom by morning? Though not mentioned, there would also be a huge water bill, water damage, and some of the comic scenes wouldn’t play out so well, without doors that allowed humans to open, while retaining water behind them.
At the breakfast table, the aftermath of the flood of water is talked about. Has it affected their maid, Gloria in any way? Dreams of mountaintop streams, and cozy dating are told. Ozzie insists on fixing the leak himself. Uh-Oh. This can’t go well either. Getting to work, assisted by his son, David, Ozzie’s beginner’s luck goes south on him, and a real plumber is called.
The King Sisters sing, Gotta Be This or That.
Ozzie hires a plumber to come over, then learns the plumber is a woman, setting up awkward role reversal moments. The gruff, but inept plumber’s assistant, and the girls swapping hair and style tips, once Harriet discovers the lady professional in the house.
Showing her skills, the lady plumber doesn’t mess around. But will it really take a full sink replacement, and reconversion to fix the drip? Time will tell when the Nelson’s trey to get some sleep tonight.
