Premise
The series focused on Doc Corkle, a dentist with both money and eccentric-relative problems.[1] Good natured Doctor Ambrose Corkle is a widower who lives with his sister Nellie, teenage daughter Laurie, and his father Simon, who tries to help out by fixing things, though his repairs aren't always successful. His well-meaning, but blundering, cousin Melinda has a wealthy son named Winfield "Windy" Dill, who is attracted to Laurie, though the teen is not interested in him. Since many of Doc Corkle's patients fail to pay him, he has to ask Windy for financial assistance.[2]
