Carl Reinhart, fascinated with women ever since having been born to one, finds himself at close quarters and cross purposes with a variety of female persons. Among them his daughter Winona, a dynamic lady executive and her colleague, daughter-in-law Mercer and, wielding blades as sharp as ever, his ex-wife.

But Reinhart has a trick or two left in him. What sets him apart is his skill on a court traditionally female--namely, cookery. In fact, he is so good that he attracts a television offer.

"Funny, joyful, sad--Berger touches all the emotions. He also conducts a tour gastronomique!" (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
