Tony is the football star of the year and has a little competition over the home fronts. Competition with his opposing team and the fella who wants his girl. Betty and Buddy are always present for fun and food, but ab- sent for work. Mom and Dad are the pa- tient type but patience can go so far and Dad reaches that point. A prize fight by Buddy, a party for the football team, an airplane ride for Babs and a proposal for Aunt Bella plus a love match between Sally and Dick, ended one hilarious night of entertainment for an average American family, the Smiths. f 7?

It is discovered that the Sandman, the magic sack, the reindeer, all have gone with him, for they were all too much a part of him.
