Bill WardIn New York City, Ann, a widowed model, has a date with her old friend Larry, an engineer who has just returned from working in South America. Ann leaves her seven-year-old daughter Peggy in the care of her babysitter, Carol, but before Ann leaves, a wide-awake Peggy peeks out to see Larry. One day, Peggy joins Ann and Larry as they visit the Museum of Modern Art and Central Park, where Peggy sails a toy boat Larry gave her. However, Ann leaves Peggy at home when she and Larry next visit the Statue of Liberty, after which they explore Chinatown. That day, their adventure continues at the Empire State Building, and Rockefeller Center, where they realize that they have fallen in love. The next day, Ann joins Larry when he looks at a house upstate that a friend of his is buying. Meanwhile, Peggy spends the day at the zoo with Peter, a photographer who will be using pictures of her in his children's book. Ann and Larry grow closer while spending time in the house, where Ann creates a makeshift dining room table out of sawhorses and scrapwood, so she and Larry can picnic in front of the fireplace. In time, Peggy reluctantly begins to like Larry. Nevertheless, one night she grows petulant and repeatedly interrupts him and Ann as they try to cuddle on the couch. On another day, Peggy asks if Larry plans to marry her mother, and the smiles on his and Ann's faces provide the answer. As an engagement gift, Larry buys them a television, although he protests when Ann places an objet d'art on top of it. When they all drive to the beach together, Peggy stays with Larry as he parks the car. Jealous of Larry, Peggy hides from him in the parking lot, and only rejoins him after he grows wise to her ploy and acknowledges that he knows she is listening, then begins to walk to the beach without her. Later that day, Ann is offended when Larry asks that they leave Peggy behind when Ann meets his father, as he believes her having a child may upset the elderly man. Ann then becomes even more annoyed when she discovers that Larry has left Peggy alone in the surf, and gave her lollipops against Ann's request. Despite having made some mistakes, Larry continues to try to befriend Peggy. When she rejects a doll he brings her in favor of an old one from her father, he takes her to the toy store at Macy's against Ann's advice. There, Peggy purposely tests Larry's patience by taking over an hour to select another toy and dawdling over lunch. After they leave the store she needs to use a bathroom, so Larry waits for her outside a restaurant while she goes inside. Peggy fails to see him after exiting the restaurant and is relieved when he reappears, but when she wanders off the curb into the street, Larry grabs her and she hurts her ankle. When they get home, Peggy bitterly complains to her mother that Larry was impatient, fed her bad food and struck her when she stumbled. Larry protests that he did not hit her, and Peggy calls him a liar and declares she hates him. Concerned about her daughter, Ann cancels her plans to join Larry for an important dinner with his boss that night, and they part in anger. Ann and Larry do not talk for a few days, and Ann grows irritable with her bored daughter, although she will soon be going to summer camp. While Ann mopes around her apartment and gazes fondly at souvenirs from the time she spent with Larry, Larry finds numerous reminders of Ann on the streets of the city: a jewelry store, a shop selling wedding dresses and the Statue of Liberty. One afternoon, while Ann is out shopping, Larry brings Peggy a puppy. They unsuccessfully look for Ann and then return to the apartment building, where Peggy shows off her puppy to a neighbor. Meanwhile, Larry, who has bought a new car and worn a bow-tie to please Ann, goes upstairs to Ann's apartment. When Ann hears the buzzer, she happily removes the objet d'art from the television and shoves it under the bed, then goes to answer the door.
