- When Bill and Connie Fuller are forced to move out of their Manhattan apartment because of their pet dog, Connie purchases a dilapidated old Pennsylvania house where George Washington allegedly slept, and persuades Bill to renovate it.
- New Yorkers Bill and Connie Fuller have to move from their apartment. Without Bill's knowledge, Connie purchases a dilapidated old farmhouse in Pennsylvania, where George Washington was supposed to have actually slept during the American Revolution. Much of the humor comes from the many problems that the couple encounters while trying to fix up the place.—Daniel Bubbeo <dbubbeo@cmp.com>
- Living in a rented New York City apartment, confirmed urbanite Bill Fuller, his wife Connie, Connie's 16-year-old sister Madge who has continual crushes on a rotation of older, authority figures, their housekeeper Hester, and their pet terrier Rommy are forced to move for the third time in a year. While Bill fully expects they will find another similar apartment in the city, Connie ultimately convinces him to move to a rural property she has found in historic northeastern Pennsylvania - that convincing being the fact that she already bought it without consulting him--with him to make the commute to the city for work. Beyond home ownership, what sold Connie on the run down colonial house are the unconfirmed stories that George Washington once slept there. They will find that the house and the property are not all what Connie thought, the necessary and seemingly never-ending upgrades more expensive than what the property caretaker, Mr. Kimber, first tells them, money which they may not have beyond still needing to pay the mortgage. These renovations are beyond discovering that the stories about Washington have proven to be unfounded, rendering the property worthless from a historical standpoint. Their troubles are not confined to the property being a money pit, but also to neighbors--Mr. Prescott does whatever he can to make their lives miserable, while Bill believes that Jeff Douglas has his eye on Connie and she might have her eye on him--and family, as Madge's latest crush seems to be stronger and longer-lasting than usual; Connie and Madge's precocious, destructive nephew Raymond suddenly needs to stay with them temporarily; and their wealthy but miserly Uncle Stanley unexpectedly arrives for a visit. Can they survive all their troubles? If so, how? And did George Washington really sleep there?—Huggo
