After learning that niece Kelly is becoming attached to another family down the street, Uncle Bentley endeavors to spend more time at home with her. He even arranges a surprise outing with Jack Benny.
13-year-old Kelly is going out on her first date, and her Uncle Bentley becomes a bundle of nerves after he learns that the boy is a 15-and-a-half-year-old version of himself.
Kelly feels that she is now old enough to be treated as the woman-of-the-house. Meanwhile, her girlfriends vote to present a humanitarian award to their heartthrob, Ronnie Burns, the son of George Burns.
Bentley Gregg has no desire to perform in Kelly's 'Parents Night' play, until he learns that the director and leading lady is a famous beautiful actress.
Uncle Bentley, Kelly, and Peter are all heading out-of-town in different directions, which results in Jasper heading in the direction of the nearest dog motel.
