Boss Willis Thackery (John Litel) sees things differently and tries to rein in Beanblossom's bumbling antics. In spite ot his efforts, Mr. Thackery•s small Hollywood firm is the scene of a never-ending parade of uproarious adventures. Loyal side-kíck Julie always tries to fix Beanblossom's unwitting slip-ups, but only seems to make things worse and a whole lot funnier.
