 Carla's sister, Sandy (Connie Stevens), offers to help Clayton (she is in love with him and will do anything to get his attention).Clayton works very hard to take care of the triplets, taking on extra work and attending a course on motherhood at a local college, but Midvale's child services want to place them with a well-to-do two-parent family.He earns the respect of Carla's father (Salvatore Baccaloni) in his efforts to care for the triplets; both he and Carla's sister, Sandy, support Clayton keeping the babies.
