Im London des ausklingenden 19. Jahrhunderts tyrannisiert der Witwer Henry Hobson seine drei Töchter. Um die Mitgift zu sparen, verbietet er ihnen kurzerhand die Heirat; und während seine älteste, Maggie, das Schuhgeschäft in Gang hält, gibt Henry allabendlich im Pub seine Lebensweisheiten zum Besten. Aber da hat er die Rechnung ohne Maggie gemacht. Die angelt sich seinen talentierten Gesellen Mossop, eröffnet mit ihm einen eigenen Laden und macht Daddy kräftig Konkurrenz. Mit ein paar Tricks gelingt es ihr schließlich sogar, den grantigen Hobson doch noch zu ihrem Partner zu machen.

Leave It to Larry is a 1952-1953 CBS sitcom starring Eddie Albert as Larry Tucker, a shoe salesman who lives with his own family in the residence of his employer and father-in-law, played by Ed Begley, Sr., in the role of Mr. Koppel. Begley though only five years older than Albert was still cast as the father-in-law. Joining Albert and Begley on the short-lived series were Betty Kean as wife Amy Tucker; Glenn Walken as 7-year-old Stevie Tucker, and Lydia Schaffer as daughter Harriet Tucker in her only acting role. The program aired five years before Jerry Mathers starred in the similarly titled Leave It to Beaver, originally on CBS and later ABC. Leave It to Beaver also had a character named “Larry" – Larry Mondello played by Rusty Stevens, the son of Margaret Mondello, played on the series by character actress Madge Blake. Leave It to Larry aired on Tuesday at 8 p.m. before The Red Buttons Show on CBS and opposite Milton Berle’s Texaco Star Theater on NBC. In the 1953-1954 season, The Gene Autry Show replaced Leave it to Larry on the CBS schedule, and Red Buttons yielded to the long-running The Red Skelton Show.
