The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker
An 1890s sausage maker's (Charles Coburn) bigamist son (Clifton Webb) sires 17.
In turn-of-the-century Pennsylvania, Horace Pennypacker (Clifton Webb) divides his time between his two sausage factories in Harrisburg and Philadelphia. When his daughter, Kate, announces her sudden engagement, Horace hurries from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, unaware that his son Horace III is on his way to Harrisburg to warn him about a legal summons for touting Darwinism. To Horace III's utter amazement, when he reaches Harrisburg, he discovers that his father has a whole other family.
