Nanny's aunts "drop in" via hot air balloon, creating havoc for the British consulate and the local constabulary as they join Mrs. Fowler from next door in a women's protest sit in. The Professor, who normally is gracious to the oddballs who visit Nanny, has enough with the disruption to his backyard with the protesting women, but Nanny manages to get a grip on everyone and her aunts confound the judge when they are charged with disturbing the peace. The wind rises again and the aunts fly of to Albuquerque (thank you, Bugs Bunny). Silly episode but with Ida Lupino and Marjorie Bennett as the aunts, I had to love it.

Even the music was not 77SS music. The setting was New York and a high rise office building that got a lot of play, the story looked like a one-off that would not continue with the characters of this story and maybe would work out with other characters from the same building. Man with a wife who keeps leaving, partner who wants to get the company involved in something shady. Richard Long and Diane McBain as husband and wife, two actors who in the early 60s were in demand and carried the story, such as it was, even if the wife's actions in the story made no sense at all. Stu Bailey, an old friend visiting from 77SS, was just an in and out referee with very little to do.

Maybe as an anthology with different characters in each story it might have worked, but the stories would have to have been more interesting than this one.
