Family Troubles Synopsis

Eddie is the head of a family who claims eight dependents, a wife and seven children when reporting his income tax. In papa's enthusiasm about purchasing an automobile, he forces sixty dollars on a mechanic engaged in "fixing" one, whom papa mistakes for the owner. Before the dumbfounded "fixer" can protest or explain, papa drives the flivver through somebody's back yard, en route for his home. The children are delighted and while their mother prepares for the first country drive, they nearly wreck the "lizzie." Finally, all are safely in and a drive in the country begins. So does the trouble. Meantime, a tribe of policemen pursue what they believe to be a thief. Their pursuit is interrupted repeatedly by laughable and gymnastic accidents. Eventually, papa comes to a closed bridge, decides to drive through the stream, but the bottom is quicksand. It is then a case of "women and children first" and with no help available, the family sees the newly acquired luxury sink out of sight. Every cloud has its silver lining, so when the police arrive, there being no evidence against the fugitive, he is allowed to go in peace, walking the family home - with mother.
