As usual, Dobie is short of money since his father won't give him any, this issue which he believes is a big obstacle to getting a girl. It becomes a huge issue with the latest object of Dobie's affections, Poppy Herring, a girl new to the school. Poppy is looking for a specific type of person to become her life mate, Dobie who is willing to say anything to meet Poppy's expectations. The biggest issue for her is that her mate should want children, exactly three, a boy and two girls who she already has pictured in her mind. What may kibosh Dobie's relationship with Poppy is Mr. Pomfritt's class on heredity, miserly and "cruel" (in Dobie's own words) Herbert's genes which Poppy does not want in her children's bloodline, despite Poppy not yet having met Dobie's father. So Dobie goes on a mission to show Poppy that Herbert is a sweet, kind and generous man.
