When aging newspaper editor Frank Miller (Art Carney) is fired after decades of service and replaced by a computer, he cannot take this fate quietly. Frank becomes enraged and starts writing letters to his son Richard (Mike Farrell), expressing his fury. Richard tries to sympathize, but he is dealing with his own problems, related to his marriage. Gradually, Frank's wife Betty (Maureen Stapleton) convinces him to put his energy to good use and change his situation.—Robert Eldred
