As part of his research for a book on suburban life, self-described genius Mr. Belvedere takes a job as a babysitter for three hard-to-handle children.

When suburban couple Harry and Tacey King can no longer handle their three intractable sons alone, they hire a baby-sitter, through an ad in the paper. Their new employee turns out to be not only male-a shock to the Kings-but an eccentric, vegetarian, yoga-practicing genius with vast worldly experience. Mr. Belvedere, whose previous occupations include being an obstetrician, a dance instructor and a locksmith, quickly displays a unique and witty way with the children while also fixing items around the house and cooking delicious meals. When snooping neighbors begin to spread nasty rumors about the Kings' unusual hired help, Tacey's good reputation is put in jeopardy, as is Harry's position at his law firm.

A new bride (Claudette Colbert) reluctantly says "I do" to her husband's (Fred MacMurray) plan to leave their life in the city and raise chickens on a dilapidated farm located miles from civilization.

Screen legends Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray star as newlyweds whose love is put to the test on their wedding day in the classic comedy The Egg and I. Just after she has said “I do,” Betty (Colbert) learns that her new husband, Bob (MacMurray), has left his white-collar job with plans to raise chickens on a rustic farm located miles away from civilization. Betty tries to make the best of her situation in their ramshackle house but never-ending repairs, a malevolent wood-burning stove, rain, ornery livestock and a seductive neighbor (Louise Allbritton) do not make it easy! There is never a dull moment in this heart-warming comedy that also introduced the beloved characters of Ma and Pa Kettle (Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride).
