One of the three children was constantly in trouble. Each of the Parker children had friends who helped to cause much of the trouble. Bob wanted to impress his girl, Joan Abernaker, with his skill as a magician. In doing so he angered her and her father, the school principal; and fur ally the P. T. A. ladies. A jacket which he had liborrowedll from Mr. Abemaker for the occasion was dyed bright yellow by the Parker maid. Mr. Ahernaker was on the verge of expelling Bob, and forbidding his children, Joan and Eddie, to see the Parkers. Matters were further complicated by Bobls ar- rest by a plain-clothcs mun, supposedly sent by the 200. It seems that the pets Bob had been keeping in the basement were valuable and had been re- ported missing. , After spending awhile in jail the whole matter was clarified by the arrival of Miss Bright, a zoo official. She explained the zoo merely wished to thank the person who had kept the escaped ani- mals. She would only take back the original pair of Chinchillas, all of the ollspring would belong to Bob. With the money that he would receive with the Chinchillas, Bob could pay for the damaged coat and be taken back into Mr. Abernakerls good graces. More important to Bob, however, was the fact that Joan had fergit'en him. '

Tony had promised to go to the college choice 0L his girl, Barbara Wetherby. -At the end of the play the matter was de- cided in a very satisfactory way.
