So inseparable are the twins that the Professor lives with both women under one roof. Into this generous and harmonious household return their daughters - triplets - fresh from their round-the-world travelling, and ready for whatever excitement they can grab next in their lives. Family life in the otherwise quiet house swells to a chaotic dazzling crescendo as the Professor struggles to keep in step with the seven women in his life and a strange request from Dr Florence.
