During his convalescence, he takes over the household with his eccentric behavior, demanding nature, and barrage of quirky guests, turning his hosts' lives upside down. As he interferes in the family's personal affairs and meddles with the love life of his secretary, the comedy unfolds through a series of farcical situations, witty dialogue, and a parade of outlandish characters, ultimately leading to a resolution where the true nature of friendship and the impact of his overbearing personality are revealed.
