Scottie's a charming irresponsible fellow, a
sometime Broadway press agent and former scriptwriter.
He's everyone's friend, nobody's hero, and a great womanizer
who's managed to live without taking anything seriously
including love, marriage and fatherhood.
Life's been one continuous gag.
Suddenly he gets some tragic news, and his son, Jud,
alienated by years of neglect, comes to visit.
Scottie's one concern is to make friends with his son -
because everyone adores Scottie - including his ex-wife.
