　　Alma小姐要結婚了，一群小姐太太們相約在Rogers夫婦家慶祝，準備了許多禮物要給Alma一個驚喜(surprise Shower with gifts)。對於ㄧ早Rogers夫婦交辦的事項，語文解讀能力異於常人的糊塗女傭Amelia Bedeia這次還找了兩光表哥Alcolu一起發揮豐富的想像力給予新解。於是兩個人開始著手一天有趣的工作，在樹籬上放滿梅子(prune the hedge修剪樹籬)、給魚秤重塗上糖霜(scale and ice the fish把魚去鱗冷凍)、拿熨斗踩過桌布(run over the tablecloth with an iron用熨斗燙平桌布)、把花剪碎(cut flowers切花，剪好的花)，最糟糕的是她們在院子裡給Alma沖了個澡。就在大伙氣急敗壞的同時，Alma的頭痛居然好了，樹籬上的梅子和Amelia Bedeia拿手的杯子蛋糕令人讚不絕口，終於讓賓主盡歡，開開心心的結束這個surprise party.
