You can imagine what happens when an emaciated landlord and his bony wife occupy the ground floor of a two-family house, the upper floor of which houses "Fatty" Alexander and his equally rotund wife. "Fatty" persists in pushing the legs of the chairs through the floor. His brother and their children come to destroy the bars in the banister, to chop his hat in two with an axe, to flirt with his daughter, Lois. Finally the entire contingent celebrates its decision to live with "Fatty" by breaking the entire ceiling and falling downstairs, They then go out house-hunting in a flivver which is reputed to have the body of a flivver and the heart of a truck. Even the magnet with which they are supplied by the dealer to hold the car together proves useless, for the car just lies down and dies. They all enter to investigate a bungalow and destroy it so the irate owner sends the cops after them. Uncle Oswald has a delightful time walking along the edge of a roof to which the boys climb to evade the cops. Finally they all fall through a skylight and miraculously land in their own house, much to the disgust of the landlord. Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
