Learning his daughter is with Clayton, Papa rushes over to the young man's house and immediately falls in love with the babies. Though he does not tell her that she is their aunt, Clayton soon enlists Sandy's aid in caring for the triplets. He readily agrees, and in order to keep her secret, Clayton pretends to find the three baby girls on his doorstep. Though hesitant at first, Carla asks Clayton to be father to her triplets for six months, while she films The White Virgin of the Nile on location in Egypt. There, Clayton tells Carla that he has never stopped thinking about her, and has always dreamed that someday he would rescue her and win her love, like a knight of old. Afraid for his life, Clayton decides to leave town, but is stopped by Carla, who finds him at their old swimming hole. On his way to the Naples home, Clayton overhears Sandy's intoxicated father, Gigi "Papa" Naples, telling his friends that he will kill Clayton if he finds him with Sandy, having never forgiven the young man for encouraging his oldest daughter to leave home and become an actress. The same night that Carla secretly gives birth to triplets, Sandy asks Clayton to fix her television set.
Sandy Naples, Carla's teenage sister, is hopelessly in love with Clayton, but he still carries a torch for the movie star. Back in their small hometown of Midvale, Indiana, the accident-prone Clayton works as a television repairman. Thinking quickly, Harold tells the studio chief that the actress is going into seclusion for five months in order to prepare for her next film, The White Virgin of the Nile, and Carla decides to leave the infant, after its birth, with her childhood sweetheart, Clayton Poole.
After Carlos was killed in the ring the day after their wedding, Carla tore up the license and now has no proof of the marriage. When her agent, Harold Herman, asks her why she is depressed, Carla confesses that she is pregnant, having secretly married a Mexican bullfighter named Carlos while on a publicity tour in Acapulco four months earlier.
