Plot
"Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them".... Right now, at the beginning, it should be understood that Don Juan Quilligan was none of these."
Barge captain Patrick Michael Quilligan, who carries nostalgia for his late mother, marries two women who remind him of her — barmaid Margie Mossrock who has her charming personality and Lucy Blake who has her home cooking skills.

Cast note
Although some filmographies attribute the role of Marjorie Mossrock's baseball player brother Howie to child actor Johnnie Russell who was occasionally billed as "John" and whose last four films were released in 1940 when he was seven years old, the actor playing Howie is John Russell, star of the 1957–1962 TV Western series Lawman, who received his first on-screen credit in this film.
