A middle-aged woman tries to get married to her younger finance but is hindered by her four grown children who come bearing grudges.

Modern relationships are examined in this comedy drama.

The film is the biography of Frank Baum, the children's book author and creator of the fantasy world Oz.

The story is about a married couple with children on the verge of divorce. Their imminent divorce, like many, is due to their mutual lack of respect and compassion for each other and the effect it has on their children. When the family makes a traumatic move to New Orleans they move into an old, Victorian home. There, in the attic, the children think they have found the "magic" to solve their parent's problems. The children accidentally manage to switch the souls of their parents. Now the wife must face the perils of the lockeroom and pressures as family breadwinner and the husband must face pregnancy and bond with his children. Newfound respect and appreciation is gained as the couple finally find out what it's like to walk in the other person's shoes.

Park Avenue society can't stop gossiping about Mary Haines' husband's affair with shop girl Crystal Allen in Clare Boothe Luce's biting look at the cattier side of the fairer sex.
