The family dash away with complete camp supplies. After the car is nearly torn apart by a chain, a cop pinches him when little Chester explodes firecrackers. Andy is sent to jail and serves a few days. Continuing their journey, the car suffers four punctures at one time. Pitching camp in the dark, Andy falls off a cliff, his nightshirt catches onto a tree. Min and Chester lasso him, finally dragging him to safety. He then goes hunting and wastes a lot of good shells. A skunk crosses his path and the family has to air their clothes. He sees a calendar and believes his vacation is up. Arriving at the office, he finds he is five days ahead of time, little Chester having torn off five days to start a fire. Written by Universal Weekly, November 8, 1924 See less
