He has written her of their two children, for want of something to write about. The mother-in-law arrives, muscular and mean. She wrecks his car, orders him around without mercy and takes possession of his house. She is anxious to see the children and he is afraid to tell her the truth, so he goes out and kidnaps a pair of the neighbor's kids. The mother-in-law gets so impatient with waiting for him that the wife goes out and kidnaps a pair. While mother-in-law is making much of the children, Charles returns with his two pickups and, failing to lie out of the dilemma, orders his mother-in-law to leave the house. She bats him around at will until seen by a policeman outside. Then she forces her son-in-law to appear to be socking her and has him arrested for attacking a defenseless woman. As the cop is ringing for the wagon the beaten husband explains that the big dame is his mother-in-law and the cop, deciding that he has been punished enough, lets him go and chases the mother-in-law.
