Marsha Jones marries the impoverished John Puruntong, much to the dismay of her wealthy mother, Doña Delilah.
Despite this, John rejects all the financial assistance Doña Delilah offers his family, resulting in a hilarious exchange of insults between the two.
The show usually ends with Doña Delilah screaming her catchphrase "Kaya ikaw, John, magsumikap ka!"
The series spawned multiple movie incarnations from 1974 to 1991: Aside from "Rubber Ducky" by Quincy Jones, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson and "Ghosbusters" by Ray Parker Jr. was also used.
