An English butler, Higgins ("not Mr. Higgins, it’s Higgins, Sir!") joins an American family, the Robertsons, with chaos and culture clash abound. Higgins was bequeathed (along with silver the he’s polished all his life) to a typical American family. Head of the Robertson household explains to his wife, "He’s not a really a man, he’s an Englishman!"
As imagined, Higgins is proper fuddy-duddy and his new family is more laid back casual Americans. From daughters who wear dugarees to the lack of lace tableware, Higgins has got his work cut out for him. Harry HcNaughton plays Higgins. This series also stars Vinton Hayworth, Peggy Allenby, Charles Nevil, Pat Hosley and Denise Alexander.
