Eddie, deeply in love with Edith, is invited to her home. He meets Pa Smith in his shirt sleeves; Ma Smith shouting orders to the others; the baby howling; the kid brother dashing about with a wooden horse; the kid sister, and "Big Bill" Smith, who bossed the whole family. Eddie was jollied by Bill, and when he asked Pa Smith if he could marry Edith, all the family listened at the door. After the wedding, the family and friends accompanied Eddie and his wife to their new bungalow, where Bill broke some of the new dishes; the children jumped up and down on the bed; Pa passed the gift-cigars to all the friends, and they decided to stay for the night. Edith and Ma slept in one bed; Bill and his friends in the other; Pa on the couch; the two youngest Smiths on the dining-table; and Eddie had the bath-tub. The next morning Eddie rented the bungalow nearby and had two huskies move the furniture, when everyone rushed out to discover the trouble, Eddie told them this was his home and informed Edith that she must choose between him and her family, and the family returned home disgusted.
