She is expecting company for the weekend and is making preparations accordingly. She starts her baking and has a goodly supply of dough on hand when she is called to the front part of the house. Uncle Heinie, in his favorite chair by the kitchen stove, tires of the dullness attendant upon the occasion and falls asleep. The kids meantime have been wandering around in search of amusement and not finding any they repair to the kitchen to see what "Ma" is baking. They find the bread dough and start right in to stimulate some excitement. Poor Heinie is made the target for a veritable shower of bread dough. Consternation follows and the kids make a successful getaway taking refuge in the captain's room. They find a pair of scissors and proceed to cut up everything in sight. The kids are caught and kicked out. They buy all the toy balloons in town and send them in a box to the captain. When he opens the box he is dumbfounded by the action of the contents. The captain decides upon a course of physical culture and goes to the gymnasium to dress for the ordeal. The kids beat him to it, however, and his stay at the gymnasium results in physical torture, instead of physical culture. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
