This entry in the series has one of the funniest situations involving the postman's effort to deliver mail to the Bumsteads. Dagwood's on time for once in his life, and when the postman sees him coming out the door, he fears the worst, but Dagwood calmly walks out the door and says good morning. But it's not over for the postman who hasn't made it to the door yet, and that is a surprise worth waiting for.
This episode surrounds the Bumstead's efforts to leave on vacation, delayed by boss Jerome Cowan's need for Dagwood to update some plans for client Thurston Hall. Along with a nervous clerk, they plot to steal the Bumstead luggage, and that puts Daisy on attack and later in the pound. A subplot concerning counterfeit money pops up as well, showing that the best laid plans of Dagwood and Blondie should never be set in stone.
A good episode, winding down to the end of the series and with a new director. Daisy gets her best material since she was a pup, and the site of the lonely puppies missing your mom is sad indeed. Kids might find this element of the movie as sad as "Old Yeller" when it's insinuated that she might be put down. Cowan's at his most scheming in this, and he gets both hisses and an A for effort in his plan to once again delay them from going on vacation although he obviously has some guilt.
