Summary
In a series of calamitous events, Andy, clad in his night attire, finds himself locked out of his residence while fetching the Sunday papers. This unfortunate incident is witnessed by the minister and several ladies of the church, leading to a collective sense of mortification. Undeterred, Andy gains entry through a window and attempts to rectify a water main issue, only to mistakenly connect the gas and water pipes. This error results in a deluge of water, rendering the stove inoperable and soaking the food, while also putting Andy's life at risk due to potential asphyxiation. The mayhem continues as the Gumps incorporate baking powder into Min's dough, causing the biscuits to levitate and explode. A boomerang sent by Uncle Bim, intended as a leisurely activity for Andy and Chester, instead causes destruction to windows and furniture. Andy's attempts to repair a carpet and subsequently the roof lead to further chaos, including a fire that necessitates the intervention of firefighters. The repercussions of Andy's actions culminate in a drenched picnic, a demolished garage, and a ruined car. The day concludes with Andy returning home to discover that the hot water boiler has exploded, obliterating his house.
