Hubby, wifie, baby and maid are about to start on a vacation trip. Of course everything goes wrong and various articles are forgotten at the last moment. Hubby speeds in a taxi ceaselessly between the wharf and his home, baby, tickets and so forth having been forgotten. Then, when everything seems set, wifie remembers that the curling iron was left attached to the electric light circuit and hubby recalls that he left the water running in the bath tub. Evidently they don't figure that one nullifies the other, for back they speed again and open the door to be overwhelmed by a flood of water.
