Lawyer and widower Eddie Serrano is extremely busy, but he tries to be there whenever his daughter Naomi needs parental support. When a parent volunteer from her Scout troop falls ill at the last minute before a camping trip, he volunteers to take her place. Alas, it's run in military style by the tyrannical Miss Hulka, who can't appreciate Eddie's pragmatic approach. Nerdy Harry Matthews, who was supposed to stand in at the law firm, passes by with some papers but gets involved in the scheming which mainly opposes Naomi's troop and rival Skylar's.
