Nick Rocco (Richard Conte) and his wife, Emily (Judy Holliday), are a happily married couple expecting their first child. But their home in Los Angeles is full of problems that Nick, who is a struggling writer, is too poor to fix. Emily convinces him to ask his father (Salvatore Baccaloni), an Italian immigrant and stonemason, to help with repairs in the house. However, father and son have longstanding grudges over Nick's refusal to attend church, and the men must confront their differences.
