Middle-aged, eccentric Bertie (Polly Holliday) suddenly becomes a mother when an 8-year-old boy (Huckleberry Fox) is mistakenly delivered to her door, vacuum-sealed in a can. It's Konrad, a factory-made "instant child," perfect in every way. When the factory realizes the error, they come to take Konrad away from his loving but imperfect home. But Konrad's new mom has a hilarious plan to foil the factory and keep her beloved little boy!

Based on the novel by Chris Noestlinger.
