G.W. hires the beauty to keep his home together against Katherine's shagrin. Katherine's eldest, Dev Warren (Patrick Wayne) moves into G.W.'s home as well. Dev meets Becky McLintock (Powers) and they both fall for one another. One issue is that Becky returns from school with "Junior" Douglas (Van Dyke) which makes for a sure love triangle.

 

Enters back into the home Katherine who now by seeing the lifestyle her husband has is now wanting a divorce and full custody of Becky. Sparks fly with the McLintock's between a battle down the dirty mud, brawls and more. This is a wonderful motion pitcure with such a dynamic stars that keeps the viewer in laughter. Watch the movie to find out if G.W. and Katherine mend or toss each other in the dust.
