| Description: | HAPPINESS AT HOME Woman visits Paris Ideal Home exhibition leaving husband to look after kids & home - comedy! Paris, France A woman tries to rouse a sleeping man out of bed; instructing him carefully, she kisses him goodbye and leaves. Kids come in and tackle him on the bed. The woman is attending a show of ideal home furnishings. GV of Exhibition Woman testing the flexibility of Dunlopillo exhibits. The kids and Dad horse around with the bed, and Dad makes a real mess of everything in the kitchen. Mom is shown all kings of elaborate appliances, while Dad copes with the housework in the old fashioned way. He tries to cook a particularly unappentising chicken in a pan, answers the phone and drops it into the aquarium, while the kids are having a whipped cream fight at the table, ending up with a huge blotch of batter right into Dad's face. Kids are playing trumpet and drum while Dad washes dishes with cotton stuffed in his ears, breaking every plate. Mom sees washing machines, and comes back home through the front door, only to see Dad and kids collapsed in exhaustion, the house a shambles. | |
