Eddie Avedon's shot at a prestigious movie part, his ticket out of playing Mulligan the Bunny on a children's TV show, is ruined after a car accident with single mother Annie Benchley that keeps haunting him. The part is promised to Avedon's lousy house-mate Scott Dunbar. Yet Eddie becomes friends with Annie and her young daughter, avid Mulligan-fan Taylor, and even sticks his neck out to arrange eye surgery for her.—KGF Vissers
