When James and
Janet Marston find, after the birth of their second son,
that they can have no more they decide to adopt. Not content
to stop with one, they adopt children of all race and
ages, both with and without mental and physical handicaps.
Their happiness, is short-lived as a nosy neighbor reports
them for child endangerment and the Marstens must prove to a
judge that they're capable of caring for the children.
