Output: In this sequel to Father of the Bride, newly married Kay Dunstan Elizabeth Taylor announces that she and her husband are going to have a baby, leaving her father, Stanley Banks Spencer Tracy, having to come to grips with becoming a grandfather. Middleclass family man Stanley Banks reminisces on events of the past year: One afternoon, returning from the office feeling happy and energetic, Stanleys routine is interrupted when his wife Ellie Joan Bennett tells him that they are having dinner with their daughter Kay and her husband, Buckley Dunstan Don Taylor, to hear some important news. Although Stanley is certain that it concerns Buckleys business, the newlyweds reveal that Kay is expecting a baby. Buckleys parents, Doris Billie Burke and Herbert Moroni Olsen, are delighted, as is Ellie, but Stanley broods that he is too young and vibrant to be a grandfather. Soon Ellie, flush with excitement, throws Kay a baby shower, something Stanley thinks is highway robbery not punishable by law. Later, Ellie suggests that they remodel their house to enable Kay, Buckley, and the baby to move in with them, but Stanley puts his foot down. Ellie is near tears when the wealthy Dunstons announce that they are planning to add a wing to their home for the couple, but is overjoyed when Kay and Buckley reveal that they have just bought their own little house, enabling Ellie to have free rein helping Kay decorate. After settling into their new home, Kay, who is very close to her father, expresses her concern that the baby will make a difference in her relationship with Buckley. Stanley comforts her by telling her how much he loved her as a baby. Soon the Banks and the Dunstans are trying to outdo one another buying gifts and making plans for the baby, up to his enrollment in college. One night, while listening to Ellie, Doris, and Herbert bicker over what the baby should be named, Kay breaks down and runs to her room. Only Stanley, whom Kay feels is the sole parent who understands her is able to comfort her. The day after pledging to Kay that he will make certain that none of the inlaws will interfere again, Stanley drags Ellie to Kays physician, Dr. Andrew Nordell, anxious over the modern ideas Nordell has about a more natural method of childbirth and infant care. For the next month or so, things remain calm, until Stanley is awakened by a late night call from Buckley, who says that Kay has left him for good. After sneaking over to Buckley and Kays place, Stanley learns from a cab driver that Kay took a taxi to his house. The two men then return to the Banks house, where the couple make up after Kays jealousy is revealed to be a misunderstanding stemming from Buckleys late nights working at the office. Kay, as well as Stanley, realize Buckleys devotion to his family. As the babys birth approaches, nerves among the parents and grandparents become frayed. The eventual birth of a baby boy delights everyone, except Stanley, a distant and wary observer of the asyetunnamed baby, who starts to cry whenever Stanley comes near him. When the baby is six months old, Kay joins Buckley on a brief business trip and leaves the baby with her parents, hoping to give Stanley time to grow closer to his grandson. One afternoon, while Kay is still away, Stanley takes the baby for a walk in the park. When the baby finally falls asleep in his carriage, Stanley joins some friendly neighborhood boys in a game of football and loses track of time. After the game, when Stanley cannot find the carriage, he frantically retraces his steps back to the house. Seeing through the window that Kay has returned early, he panics and takes a taxi to the local police station. There a befuddled Stanley confesses to the grimfaced police sergeant that he has lost the baby. Fearing the wrath of the police squad, who found the sweetnatured baby and have fallen in love with him, Stanley secretly prays that his grandson will not start to scream when he picks him up. To Stanleys relief, the baby is delighted to see him, and from that moment on, the two are devoted to each other. Some time later, at the babys christening, Stanley beams with pride as his grandson is finally named Stanley Banks Dunstan.
