Synopsis

Willoughby is a stuffy, too-dutiful young man who abides by everything his three maiden aunts tell him.

Willy is his impish inner self - his true self, if Willoughby would only realize it and unbend.

Despite initial resistance on Willoughby's part, Willy is soon helping him to assert himself - enough to notice girls!

And that's when the problems really begin.

With Willy cheering him on, Willoughby manages to solve not only this problem, but is even able to inform his aunts that he's going to live his life as he wants to - in fact, Willoughby and Willy become one.
