A Ready Made Family

Neither tells the other of the children at home, three in one household and two in the other

The youngsters, having heard of the big surprise, plan to upset the matrimonial applecart by acting their worst before their prospective step-parents

One will have fits, another will talk baby talk, a third plays the role of a holy terror. Sammie becomes a kleptomaniac, and Doris, having had an operation, will harp on that

After almost two hours of side slitting laughter Agnes and Henry emerge victorious and the "kids" are ready to accept their new parents

Swift-moving action, clever and clean lines
