Opening with an instrumental of, No Nothing Til My Baby Comes Home, the scene joins the Nelsons in their living room. The discussion includes gardening, shaving troubles for Ozzie, and his old football suit. Harriet has been knitting quite a lot lately, and has improved over her first sweater for Ozzie. The tiny sweater she’s working on catches Ozzie’s attention, but is it for the tiny arrival he thinks its for?
Eager to share a secret, or what he believes is secret, Ozzie hints to a neighbor girl, and sets the stage for a string of crossed wire gossip. Harriet is joined by Ozzie to sing, The Kid in the Three Corner Pants.
Downtown, Ozzie shops the maternity department, where he encounters William Bendix as the elevator operator. Ozzie is the only man on the floor, and the awkward baby jokes fly. What should a properly equipped baby have these days? How is Harriet doing in her preparations for the new arrival? We find her talking with Frank Nelson, and the real story behind her knitting project.
the show transitions with an instrumental of, Poinsienna.
A phone call to the pound means that Harriets surprise for Ozzie might mean more than one puppy. The maid, Gloria, is given orders to not tell Ozzie anything about the secret. When son, David, arrives, Ozzie’s confusion continues, and if its all the same to mom and dad, the kid would rather have a pony. Will the secrecy ever come to an end, and set Ozzie straight? How will he accept the news of two arrivals, or the fact that they’re cocker spaniels?
