Synopsis
Meet Amelia Bedelia, the hardworking, charming housekeeper who does exactly what the Rogers family asks her to do. When she's told to "draw the drapes," Amelia Bedelia gets out her pad and pencil. When Mrs. Rogers asks her to "dress up the chicken," the family dinner winds up wearing overalls and socks. From "dusting the furniture" to "changing the towels," Amelia Bedelia has her own special way of following instructions, leaving a slew of laugh-out-loud mishaps in her wake!
