Plot Synopsis

Bob, an incompetent man, is searching for an available job by alphabetical order. He had just failed all of the A's, and discovers an ad in the Yellow Pages for a butler school. He is the only one in the butler school course to pass, because all of the other people quit due to the embarrassment and pressure of the teacher. Meanwhile, Tess (Genevieve Buechner) and Bates (Benjamin B. Smith) Jamieson had just made their babysitter quit. Anne Jamieson (Brooke Shields), their single mother and neat freak, sees Bob's old babysitting ad, and desperate, hires Bob as their babysitter, even though Bob said he was now a butler. When Bob manages to put the children to bed peacefully, when other babysitters could not, Anne hires Bob to be their butler/babysitter, so she can spend more time with her boyfriend Jacques (Rob LaBelle). Throughout the movie, Bob becomes a fatherly figure to Tess and Bates.
