Summary
In the lean years of early marriage, Charley and his bride find themselves inhabiting a house that is more of a hollow shell than a home, stripped of both sustenance and currency. Desperation drives Charley to a botched attempt at porch-piracy, failing miserably to secure a simple bottle of milk from a neighbor. In a bid to escape the crushing weight of insolvency, he bluffs his way into a position as a chauffeur for the formidable Mrs. Armstrong Butt. There is one significant hurdle: Charley has never operated a motor vehicle in his life. The situation spirals into a domestic and professional nightmare when he discovers his new employer is none other than his own mother-in-law. What follows is a chaotic collision of mechanical incompetence and familial friction, as Charley attempts to navigate a car he can't control and a relative he can't escape.
