After two days on a bus from the prairies to New Jersey, Harry is down to his last two twenties and some change. He can't work with a broken leg, so the tools in his duffle bag are of no use. But Harry is smiling because he's got a feeling the newspaper clip in his pocket will change his life. Harry's nephew sees him on TV a few months later, protesting the closing of the tent camp where he now lives. Elated at finding his long-lost uncle, the doctor takes Harry home despite warnings from the two people he loves the most, his wife: "I don't feel comfortable having a homeless stranger in my house" and Harry: " I ain't gonna fit in with the snobsville crowd. I can see the heading now, 'Snobs versus the slob'." Harry's unconventional methods to fix the flaws in the family seem to be working until he stubbornly tries to "toughen up" his nephew's over-protected little girl which puts her in a near-death situation. Can Harry admit his own flaws, or will he return to the tent camp to find solace with his buddies?
