Plot Overview
With a crop dusting job completed which included a bonus, Steve wants to take Betty Jo out on the town. But Betty Jo doesn't want to leave the baby with sitters. They let a professional decide: Janet. She sides with Steve, mentioning that she, Uncle Joe and Bobbie Jo can look after Kathy Jo at the hotel. Betty Jo reluctantly agrees but doesn't seem to be able to focus on anyone else but the thought of Kathy Jo during the dinner date. Meanwhile back at the hotel, Bobbie Jo is first called off on a date she forgot about, then Janet is called off on a medical emergency, leaving Uncle Joe alone to look after the baby. How much trouble can Joe get into taking care of Kathy Joe on his own? Plenty, when a friendly poker game, the editor of the Pixley newspaper and the sheriff are thrown into the mix.
