Our story begins with the fact that Grandad, ill a year ago, is still considered an invalid by his daughter, Mrs. Morton, who feeds him on nothing but soup and crackers, while he dreams of thick. juicy steaks. An old friend, Big Jim Mahoney returns from out in Ari- zona and plans to stage a supper for all his boyhood pals. Jim helps Grandad make plans to get out of the house without his daughters knowing. Unfortunately all his clothes are in storage, so they bribe the maid to sneak Kip's clothes out of his room. When Grandad appears in the boy's clothes, the two old men sneak out of the house with nobody the wiser. A nosey old maid across the street sees them and telephones Mrs. Morton, who scoifs at the idea, saying her father is asleep on the sofa, but it is really Tilly, the maid, who has been bribed by Grandad to cover up with a b'anket, who snores at intervals. Kip, who has a date, sets up a howl when he finds his suit missing. His older sister, Betty, and her boy friend discover that Grandad has disappeared. Assuming that a lourglar has stolen Kip's suit and kidnapped Grandad, they notify the police. In the meantime Tilly has slipped out. 5 While the detective and the family are out looking for Grandad, he slips into the house with a bandage about his head, lies down on the couch, and covers up. The officer comes in to search for the missing Grandad, who is now peacefully lying on the davenport where he, supposedly, had been all the time. The family come in just in time to hear a very pronounced snore from the couch. Mrs. Morton rushes to the couch and there, with very sleepy eyes and a sheepish look on his face is Grandad!
