In this 6th installment of a series of short "telenovela style" film comedies, we find Myrna pregnant about to have the baby of her deceased husband, Oscur, who was shot at the altar during their wedding by Myrna's arch nemesis Heidi Ho. Heidi was attempting to kill Myrna's Mama who tried to drown Heidi for stealing yet another of Myrna's great loves. The joy of the baby's arrival is quickly dashed when Myrna, her maid Ping and her Mama and Papa discover one of the delivery nurses is an imposter who steals baby Oscur. The madcap rush to find the baby is filled with twists and turns and some deep-seated revelations from the Juana family's past.

Their stories reflect a diversity of gender identities, cultural backgrounds, and academic studies while exploring allyship, threats, and the dynamics of being out at home with family.
