The gynecologist Dr. T has a busy practice in Dallas . The upper class women come to him for an examination by the charming, patient Dr. T often have to wait for hours. His zealous medical assistant Carolyn has her hands full, keeping his back free and ironing out the quirks of his patients.

The orderly life of Dr. T falls apart when his wife, Kate, is arrested for causing public nuisance for walking naked into a mall fountain. She is admitted to a psychiatric facility and subsequently loses contact with the real world. Their older daughter Dee Dee is now planning her wedding to Eli.

She has just left her husband and is now moving in with his three naughty daughters. To make matters worse, Carolyn throws herself at him because she is in love with him, but this is not mutual.

In order to compensate for the balancing act between professional and private obligations and difficulties, Dr. Don't go back to his golf club. Here he met the new golf instructor Bree, whose lightheartedness he felt attracted to and with whom he began an affair after a while.
