Luigi Lanconi comes to plead his son's case and is practically booted out of the house. The two old fellows start a fight and P. U. fMr. Morlock's initials stand for Phillip Ulyssesj says if Mary weds Joe it will be'over his dead body. Luigi says if they don't it will be over his. Luigi has a bad heart and the poor old boy can't take it--he konks out. The feud appears over. But then Luigi gets per- mission to come back and haunt Mr. Morlock, until he gives permission for the wedding. Mr. Morlock soon gets frantic because the family thinks he has lost the few remaining marbles that he had. fLuigi is visible only to Morlock- -and the audience, of course., Then Mr. , Morlock takes too many sleeping pills and also kicks the bucket. Neither one will leave until everything is settled to his satisfaction. Lucifer, from down below , drops in to take Mr. Morlock to the lower regions. Many more events take place which lead to a surprising and entertaining climax.
