Daddy Goes a Grunting Synopsis
A complaining and fault-finding husband is taught a lesson when his wife "runs away," leaving him to darn his own socks and take care of the baby. The attempt to give the baby its bath results in the father getting his feet badly burned in the boiling water he permits to run into the tub. This is the beginning of a series of difficulties which culminate when the husband thinks himself poisoned, an event which brings a laughable climax and a true-to-form reunion of husband and wife.
