Here's the story on beloved children's author Uncle Bumps: he hates kids...and loves women, booze and high living. So when a prim miss threatens to blow the whistle on his career, he comes up with a new story to excuse his naughty behavior: he's a grieving widower with an obstreperous son. Now all he needs is a quick trip to the local orphanage to borrow a freckle-faced orphan for the day! (official distributor synopsis)
