Synopsis

Peter, an underachieving student with a slightly debauched lifestyle, ignores his wealthy farmer father's attempts to get him to reform. He is forced to change his ways when someone leaves a child in his apartment with a note saying that he is the child's father. He hires a young woman to work as the child's nurse, not realizing that she is really the child's mother.
