A retired man's serene existence is turned upside down when his former secretary, a lively and vibrant presence, bursts into his life, shaking up his routine and stirring up old memories.

Arthur Dodsworth, a retired man, lives alone with his budgie and memories of his late wife. His visit from his former secretary, Peggy Prothero, interrupts his nap. She updates him on changes at work, but her brash nature and criticism of his accomplishments put a strain on their visit.
