She is thrown out of the class after fighting with several of the members and goes home, where she fills the bathtub with water and proceeds to learn to swim. After the water is knee deep in the room, she also practices a little fancy diving. By this time the plaster has begun to fall on the floor below, where a card game is going on. The members of the family rush upstairs and find Sweedie having the time of her life. A riot call is sent in to the police, and when they arrive they find Sweedie holding off the entire family with a club. They all then chase her out of the house and finally capture her in the lake.
