A thirty-eight-year-old cop, still under his mother's thumb, falls for a young woman who works in the local undertaker's parlour. Neither woman is prepared to play second fiddle...Danny, a cop, meets and falls in love with Theresa. They get engaged, despite sneaking around behind his mother's back, but when push comes to shove, he can't quite quit worrying about his mother long enough to be any kind of lover to Theresa.
