Gus Hinkle is a plumbing contractor with a temper that is legendary. For twenty years he's made life miserable for his sister, Liz, who has raised his motherless daughters, Evvy and Judy from baby-hood. The girls decide that Liz deserves a vacation and proceed to Fairyland Beach, where they rent Breeze -Cottage from J. Orville Spence, one of that tribe of supersalesmen. They inveigle Gus into moving out to the beach for the summer, and then the fun begins. When Gus' temper runs plumb into the lack of living facilities at the Cheese Cottage, as he re- christens it, wreckage is bound to result land with it, a surfeit of laughs for the audiencej. Gus fumes and sputters and roars through three merry acts, and everything happens to him, from mosquito bites to a close escape from drowning. In the end, df course, there is a satisfactory adjustment, and romances for Gus himself and his two daughters.
