Storyline

When Alex enters the lives of the musical Tuttle family, each of the three daughters falls for him. He is charming, good looking and personable. Laurie and Alex seem made for each other and become engaged. When Barney comes into the picture to help Alex with some musical arrangements matters become complicated. He is seen as a challenge by Laurie, who can't believe anyone could be as cynical, and she is more than a match for his gloomy outlook on life. Written by Ron Kerrigan <mvg@whidbey.com>

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Laurie asks Barney why he doesn't have any plants in his window box, he says because they use up all the oxygen. Of course, plants actually use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. See more »

Quotes

Barney Sloan: Bustin' things up, thats my speed, but one thing's a saving grace: I always end up at the bottom of the pile.
