In 'Three Men and a Baby', bachelors Peter Mitchell (Tom Selleck), Jack Holden (Ted Danson) and Michael Kellam (Steve Guttenberg) live together in an opulent Manhattan penthouse. While Jack is away, a 'package' arrives for him: a baby girl. Peter and Michael are forced to cope with the rigours of childcare until Jack returns to explain. 

In the sequel 'Three Men and a Little Lady', Mary is now five years old and her mother, Sylvia, wants to find a 'real' father for her child - who is still living with the three bachelors. When Edward (Christopher Cazenove) proposes, Sylvia accepts - much to the fury of the three dads and Mary.
