To Jerry's despair, Trudy is deeply impressed with a ballet dancer, so with a sofa pillow as a partner, Jerry tries to learn ballet. Then Trudy switches to aviation, and the anxious Jerry starts building model planes. Meanwhile Jerry's home life gets more and more complicated as he tries to follow Trudy's hilarious mental quick changes. The tlnal blow falls when Trudy starts reading Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnets. Jerry is sadly deficient in English Literature, but he tries to make up for it in a rush. His frantic maneuvers get the whole family into trouble, and things look pretty serious for Jerry. In despair, Jerry resorts to a real last resort and the humorous and unexpected reversal brings this last paced comedy to a pleasant and satisfying conclusion.
