Yours, Mine & Ours

High-school sweethearts Frank Beardsley and Helen North are reunited when Frank and his family move back to his hometown of New London. They are instantly attracted to each other and quickly decide to marry. They are quite cognizant of the fact that he already has eight children from his first marriage, and she has 10 from hers, which are a mixture of her biological offspring and rainbow of adopted children. What could be more problematic is that he is an admiral with the Coast Guard, so he has a very regimented view of how things should be done, whereas she, a handbag designer, is a free spirit with a more lackadaisical attitude. Their respective children, who are a product of their parents' views, hate one another other, but feel that they can better rid themselves of their new situation by joining forces to show their parents their respective philosophical differences about life. Whether or not they achieve this goal, their plan could have some unexpected consequences.
