Doug Heffernan puts in a long day's work delivering parcels and comes home each night to his loving wife, Carrie; unfortunately, he also comes home to his wacko father-in-law, Arthur.

Carrie is embarrassed by Doug when he shows up unexpectedly and famished at her boss's elegant "drinks-only" cocktail party.

Doug's elation at winning two tickets to the NCAA Final Four turns to guilt when Carrie prompts him to take Arthur instead of Deacon.

When Carrie discovers that her and Doug's ski weekend getaway was motivated by a promotion for a free plasma TV that Doug wants, her romantic mood sours.

When their neighbor passes away, Carrie convinces Doug it would be a smart investment to buy the house and sell it for profit.
