Two black kids from Harlem, Arnold Jackson and older brother Willis, are welcomed into the family of wealthy New York businessman Philip Drummond when their mother, his housekeeper, passes away. The two brothers become part of the Drummond family and learn various lessons about life.

A long-lost trunk containing a tape recording from their deceased mother is delivered to the boys.

Arnold's chances at winning a school election are slim when a revealing photo of him taken by Kimberly surfaces.

Arnold's run-in with the new building manager's son could get the entire Drummond family evicted.

Willis oversteps the bounds of his authority in his after-school job at his father's office.
