Sein Lotterleben endet abrupt, als er die Vormundschaft für seinen unglaublich intelligenten 11-Jährigen Neffen Wendell (Buddy Handleson) übernimmt.

Doch David lernt ziemlich schnell, dass es viel leichter ist, einen Vater zu spielen, als einer zu sein. Auch seine drei Kinder sind alles andere als begeistert: Der "Vateranfänger" im Hause Hobbs geht allen gehörig auf die Nerven und der Geduldsfaden ist zum Reißen gespannt.
