Escaping indoors through a window, Andy attempts to fix the water main, but mixes the gas and water pipes, flooding the stove, soaking the food and almost asphyxiating himself. All the Gumps put baking powder in Min's dough with the result that the biscuits float in midair and explode. Later, Andy shows Chester how to throw a boomerang, sent by Uncle Bim, but succeeds in breaking two windows and a lot of furniture. Almost killed by his wife while getting mixed up in a carpet she is beating, Andy tries to repair the roof. Clogging the chimney with his toolbox, he sees smoke pouring from a window and sends in an alarm. His house drenched by the firemen, Andy takes Min and Chester on a picnic in 348. He wrecks his garage, later drenches his picnic lunch with a system of grass sprinklers, steps on another picnic party's lunch while showing Chester how to fly a kite, falls in pond, off cliff, smashes car, and gets home to find the hot water boiler has exploded, blowing his house to bits.
