The film shows typical days in the lives of a family in the 1920s, but here with 12 children and an efficiency engineer as the parent. The parents are the time and motion study and efficiency experts Frank Bunker Gilbreth Sr. Frank employs his unorthodox teaching methods on his children, and there are clashes between parents and children.
