She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan. The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran.
Fran, fresh out of her job as a bridal consultant in her boyfriend’s shop, first appears on the doorstep of Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield peddling cosmetics, and quickly stumbled upon the opportunity to become The Nanny for his three children. But soon Fran, with her offbeat nurturing and no-nonsense honesty, touches Maxwell as well as the kids.
Maxwell și Bette Midler organizează un program de caritate, iar Fran participă și ea: duce un copil minune al pianului la un azil de bătrâni, iar moartea unuia dintre ei îl face pe acesta să jure că nu va mai cânta niciodată.
