When Alex enters the lives of the musical Tuttle family, each of the three daughters falls for him. He is charming, good looking and personable. Laurie and Alex seem made for each other and become engaged. When Barney comes into the picture to help Alex with some musical arrangements matters become complicated. He is seen as a challenge by Laurie, who cant believe anyone could be as cynical, and she is more than a match for his gloomy outlook on life.
Gregory Tuttle is the Dean of a music foundation in a coastal town in Connecticut. He has passed on his love of music to his three early adult daughters - Amy, Fran and Laurie - who live with him and his spinster sister, the girls Aunt Jessie. Gregory and his daughters often rehearse together as a musical quartet. The girls support each other however they can, but each is an individual with her own distinct personality and wants, including the type of man each wants as a husband. After only seven dates, Fran becomes engaged to developer Bob Neary, a man with prospects and wealth aspirations, which match Frans own aspirations. After Fran and Bobs announcement, Laurie and Amy vow to be spinster sisters together, despite practical but deep in her heart romantic Amy long having been courted by unassuming plumber, Ernest Nichols, who dotes on her. Only fun loving Laurie truly believes she will not get married. Their collective lives change with the entry into their lives of two men. The first is Gregorys old friends son, composer Alex Burke, who is in the process of writing the songs and incidental music for a Broadway musical. He easily gets a job at the foundation using his natural and sincere charm which he applies to all equally, those charms which he also uses to get temporary lodging at the Tuttle home while he spends most of his time writing. Many women misconstrue that charm for romantic interest. The second is Alexs orchestrator and arranger, Barney Sloan. Barney has a chip on his shoulders about what life has dealt him, which he uses in turn as a reason for living a reckless life. The two men make each of the three daughters reexamine what she thinks she wants in life, or more precisely who she wants, which for all may be the same person, and affects what all three end up doing in their romantic life.
