In this entry, Joe McDoakes is at first a young curmudgeon "who hates kids and kids hate him." And then his wife tells him that a "little visitor" is coming to their home. At the the idea of his becoming a father he increasingly becomes the stereotypical and endearing nervous father-to-be. He takes his wife to the doctor's office but it is he who is sick and nervous. The months go by and a fortune teller tells Joe that the baby is going to a boy and Joe immediately starts dreaming that some day his son will become President. In the best routine, his wife has odd food requirements and asks Joe for raw rhubarb in the middle of the night after the grocery store has closed. Joe gets into the store by egging on a guy to break the grocery store window by throwing a brick at him (which Joe dodges). Of course, it's a silly routine but quite funny. Another silly - but cute - routine is when Joe practices to be a father by putting a diaper on the family dog. His wife Alice drives them to the hospital as he's too nervous. This is a fun short and except for the ending, is funny throughout.
