Next comes the news that Hughie has been left a legacy of $100,000.00 conditional upon his maintaining the pets left by his dying Uncle. The family start out in their "Fierce-Arrow" to claim the pets and the legacy. To their horror the Express Agent delivers two full grown elephants as the pets. At once it is evident that the legacy is not an unmixed blessing. On the way home the elephants become somewhat obstreperous and clean out a fruit stand, etc. Exhausted with his efforts in getting the pets home, Hughie falls into an uneasy slumber in which he has a vivid nightmare of oriental splendor which the audience enjoys with him. While engaged in a terrific struggle with a leopard he awakens to find that he is shaking his wife, who is protesting in kind. Then come some perfectly hilarious scenes of the elephants entering and taking possession of a hotel, where they proceed to traverse the corridors, enter the sleeping and bath rooms and even crash through the walls, thus producing a series of extremely funny situations among the panic-stricken guests.
