Gildersleeve, the water commissioner in The Great Gildersleeve, learns that his niece Marjorie is expecting a baby in about three weeks. He decides to throw her a baby shower, but he is told it would be more proper for the party to come from one of Marjorie's friends. He persuades Katherine, the doctor who is close to the family, to host it, and sets about arranging the guest list, which includes the rival Rumsen Bullard. Meanwhile, Leroy and Brenda decide to hold a pretend shower of their own, and the plans begin to tangle.
