Post. Distracted--maddened-- the t's the innocent father who is forced to live in a house with a neurotic ex- pugilist (Joe Hunt) who starts fighting whenever a door- bell rings! Not only that, but a strange Miss Cholnum- deley (Joan Post)--as dizzy and stupid as they come--has taken up her abode there. It all happens on the night of the Junior Prom, when Hildy Haines (Evelyn Nov}) comes down with the measles, and everybody in the Haines residence is quar- antined. The ill oooorted couple who call on Mr. Haines (Bob Klrkhamjare unfortunately in the house at the time. It is really Chuck Haines (Jim Reese) fault, though. Innocently enough, in testing out his printing press, he ran off some handbills proclaiming a DO YOU THINK YOU'RE INSANE--ARE YOU LOSING YOUR MIND°--SEE DR. HAINES, end that brought forth-results-----in the form of mental patients. Hildy can't attend the Prom, of course; and after she and Queenie Smith (Jeanne DeGroote) had struggled so hard on the date angle, too. And now, beautiful Cousin Cora (Ruby Blad) is probably using her charms on Willie Vermin (Bob Peterson). Not that Willie is such a 'prize” the girls had palmed him off on Cora in the first place, in favor of more glamorous dates. But how can a person carry on love plots when she's measles-afflicted0 Well, there comes a time when the quarantine is lifted, and romance and youthful senemes can have a field day once more. The pugilist-dizzy-dame pair can leave, too. They've fallen in love in the meantime, and it isn't long before they come tromping back to the house to announce their engagement! But the blow that just about kills everybody lands when Mr. Haines comes down with the measles'. Others in the cast ere as follows; Mrs. Hain6S, a harassed mother, Barbara Barnes; Frankie Brown, as embryo wolf, John Downing; Olivia, a discontented maid, Marcia Jones; and Doctor Prescott, a neighbor, Harold Sayers.
