Katie (
Tina Cole) complains that Uncle Charley (
William Demarest) is making her feel unnecessary in the Douglas home. Steve (
Fred MacMurray) speaks to Charley, who tries to makes amends by planning a rather bizarre "tea party" on Katie's behalf. Meanwhile, Chip (
Stanley Livingston) volunteers for the school dance committee, but the otherwise all-female committee frustrate Chip by ignoring his ideas. However, the girls want to help out after Chip tells them what Uncle Charley is planning for the tea party - party balloons and donuts for dunking are out, scones, silverware and napkins are in. Much to Katie's surprise, the tea party turns out to be huge success.
