Having just gotten a promotion at work, Edgar Kennedy comes home on a vacation and everybody in the family, especially his brother-in-law Jack Rice, thanks that he's been fired for being overweight. Wife Florence Lake's old boyfriend Dick Wessel shows up for a visit and proceeds to give Kennedy a workout to get him back in shape, and Kennedy begins to think that he's dying from drinking some kind of acid. When news of his promotion is revealed to the family, they push him to make sure he's it's ready for it even though he's certain that he's dying. When all is revealed, Kennedy prepares to seek revenge, with his brother-in-law as the main victim. Sometimes these shorts are very tiring because the family is so awful that their antics are disgusting to watch. Even when Kennedy gets revenge, it never seems like enough. I didn't find much to laugh at here even though I found I could root for Kennedy because of his success at work.
