When the new employment exchange manager Bradshaw insists that everyone can be helped, veteran Hooper gladly passes on the hopeless case of Frank Spencer. Both his serial disaster-record and 'qualification' (25 meter breaststroke, after 'attending' many schools, till age 11, no actual classes) support Hooper's point amply. Yet Frank acts indignant, and Bradshaw insists on trying - betting he'll keep a job for a week. The only way to win is to employ Frank himself, but this proves far more costly and dangerous for everyone and everything.
Since Frank Spencer's mother died and he married Betty, her mother can't decide what's worst: her girl moving out or the one-man walking -rather stumbling- disaster-area staying, as everything he touches is doomed. A salesman job interview demonstrates Frank's inverse Midas-touch on the iron mongery company lift and his social skills being both scary and scared, his mental age embryonic.
