00:00:00Blondie!
00:00:19Pretty face, funny hat, that's what my Blondie is.
00:00:23Lovable feet, both flat, that's what my Dagwood is.
00:00:27Blondie's not always right.
00:00:29I let her think she is.
00:00:31All of my thoughts are bright.
00:00:33Long as he thinks they're his.
00:00:35Life with us is fun and crazy.
00:00:38Baby duffling.
00:00:39Us and Daisy are the family.
00:00:42Incredible.
00:00:43Bumsteadable.
00:00:44Hurry, you'll miss your bus.
00:00:46Watch out, you'll burn your stew.
00:00:49Nothing's too much for us.
00:00:51As long as with me there's you.
00:00:53Dagwood and Blondie.
00:00:54Blondie and Dagwood.
00:00:55Always with me there's you.
00:01:13Daddy.
00:01:14Huh?
00:01:15When does the vacation start?
00:01:19Any minute now.
00:01:22What if the boss calls it off like he did last time?
00:01:28Quit worrying.
00:01:30Every time I hear that telephone, I get goose pimples.
00:01:35Here you are, Daisy.
00:01:37Hey, Daisy.
00:01:40See you in two weeks.
00:01:53Oh.
00:02:05I bet that's the boss.
00:02:19Daisy.
00:02:23There's nobody here but us dogs.
00:02:38Is everybody ready?
00:02:40I've been ready for hours.
00:02:43Seat is at the front door, dear.
00:02:45It's just Daddy, I hope.
00:02:48Oh.
00:02:49Blondie.
00:02:51Open the door, will you?
00:02:55Dagwood, on your knees in your new suit.
00:03:00Won't you ever grow up?
00:03:12Oh, oh.
00:03:16Dagwood.
00:03:17Huh?
00:03:18Look.
00:03:19You do?
00:03:21What is it?
00:03:22Why, it's my vacation hat, silly.
00:03:24Oh, it scared me.
00:03:27Scared you?
00:03:29Uh-oh.
00:03:30You don't like it.
00:03:32I do, too, like it.
00:03:34Well, you do not.
00:03:35You said it scared you.
00:03:36I didn't mean to say it scared me.
00:03:38I meant to say it surprised me.
00:03:41You think it's terrible.
00:03:42I can see it in your face.
00:03:44I do not think it's terrible.
00:03:45I think it's a swell hat.
00:03:47Don't you, Baby Duffman?
00:03:48Leave me out of this.
00:03:50I think you're horrible.
00:03:52You're just like a man.
00:03:54Blondie, please.
00:03:55I'm not like a man.
00:03:57I'm like a hat.
00:03:58I mean, I like the hat on.
00:04:00You've spoiled everything.
00:04:04Blondie, sweetheart, darling.
00:04:07Now we'll never get started.
00:04:11I'll fix it.
00:04:13You'll make it worse.
00:04:16Might as well sit down.
00:04:20Hello?
00:04:23Hello, Alvin.
00:04:26What made you hang up the telephone so quick?
00:04:29Scared?
00:04:30Uh-huh.
00:04:31Thought it was the boss.
00:04:32I wanted to wish you bon voyage.
00:04:36Now listen, Alvin.
00:04:38This is no time for big words.
00:04:42Mommy's upset.
00:04:45What's the matter?
00:04:46She bought a new hat.
00:04:48Who left?
00:04:50Nobody.
00:04:51It scared Daddy.
00:04:53Is the vacation off?
00:04:56We've started twice already.
00:04:59They're a good mommy and daddy.
00:05:01But sometimes it's mighty hard to live with them.
00:05:05Open the door, Blondie.
00:05:07Honest, I think it's a beautiful hat.
00:05:11Kid stuff.
00:05:14Blondie, please.
00:05:15Go away.
00:05:17Please, dear.
00:05:18It's almost train time.
00:05:19The taxi will be here any minute.
00:05:24Go away.
00:05:25I don't care what time it is.
00:05:38Mr. Bumstead?
00:05:39Hmm?
00:05:40I can tell you how to fix it.
00:05:42Don't listen to him, Daddy.
00:05:44He'll get you in trouble.
00:05:46No, I won't.
00:05:47Just forget all about her.
00:05:50Take your bags and start.
00:05:52She'll follow.
00:05:54Yeah?
00:05:55What if she doesn't?
00:05:57Now listen.
00:05:58The creator made us with twins.
00:06:01One on which to sit.
00:06:03The other with which to think.
00:06:05Our success depends on which one we use the most.
00:06:09Heads we win, tails we lose.
00:06:14Go on, try it.
00:06:20Come on, baby dumpling.
00:06:23Dagwood Bumstead, if you go out of this house and leave me, I'll never speak to you again.
00:06:30What did I tell you?
00:06:57There's nobody home.
00:06:58They're on a vacation.
00:07:13That was a dirty double crossing trick.
00:07:22Read this one, Mommy.
00:07:24All right.
00:07:27Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor doggie a bone.
00:07:34Look, Mommy, look, look.
00:07:54Dagwood, wake up.
00:07:55What is it?
00:07:56What's wrong?
00:07:57Daisy's T-A-I-L.
00:08:00O-H.
00:08:02I mean O.
00:08:25Sorry.
00:08:26It's all right.
00:08:36Your new hat, too.
00:08:39I said I was sorry.
00:08:40I didn't know his hat was on the floor.
00:08:42Well, you had your foot in it.
00:08:45Well, he did.
00:08:46I know, but let it drop.
00:08:47That's the trouble with you.
00:08:49You let people impose on you.
00:08:52Who's imposing on me?
00:08:54Yes, who?
00:08:56No one was speaking to you, and we'll thank you tomorrow.
00:08:59Read, Mommy.
00:09:01Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor doggie a bone.
00:09:25Conductor!
00:09:31What seems to be the trouble?
00:09:32These people have a dog.
00:09:34We were just playing a game, Conductor.
00:09:36Of course, Conductor, and I'll show you how it goes.
00:09:39Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor doggie a bone.
00:09:46I'm sorry, but dogs are not permitted in Pullman cars.
00:09:49He's not harming anybody if it hadn't been for that man.
00:09:53Take him up to the baggage car.
00:09:54Well, couldn't we...
00:09:56Go ahead, Bagwood.
00:09:58I want Daisy here.
00:10:00Now, he'll be all right.
00:10:02Come on, Daisy.
00:10:04I'll settle with you later.
00:10:15How would you like to hear about the big, bad wolf?
00:10:20Yes.
00:10:32If it wasn't for you, I'd have Daisy and I could go to sleep.
00:10:39I bet she can't sleep out there in that old baggage car.
00:10:45Well, if I had my way, you and your whole family would be in the baggage car.
00:11:16Bagwood, I think this is the most beautiful night I've ever seen.
00:11:21Except the night Baby Dumpling was born.
00:11:24Why, Blondie, I got soaking wet walking up and down in front of the hospital.
00:11:28It was a rainy night.
00:11:30Yes, but it was beautiful rain.
00:11:35Remember the night we met?
00:11:37You kidded me about my hair.
00:11:43I was kidding this morning, too.
00:11:47You don't like my new hat, either.
00:11:49Sure, I do.
00:11:51When are you going to wear it?
00:11:53Not until the vacation really begins.
00:11:55When you see me wearing that hat, we'll be going places.
00:11:59Going places. Just think, a vacation at last.
00:12:02No dishes to wash and no house to clean and no beds to make.
00:12:06No pushing in the bus, no worrying about business, nothing to do but play.
00:12:13Sure is a beautiful night.
00:12:17I wonder if we'll be like this when we get old.
00:12:20We'll be older.
00:12:21No, I don't mean that.
00:12:23I mean, I wonder if we'll be like us or like other people.
00:12:26Like us.
00:12:30I hope my hair turns gray.
00:12:33Don't worry, it will.
00:12:35And when baby Dumpling grows up, he will grow up, you know, and get married.
00:12:42And poor Daisy.
00:12:44Daisy won't get married.
00:12:48Good evening.
00:12:50Mind if I sit down?
00:12:51Not at all.
00:12:53Beautiful night, isn't it?
00:12:54Bright.
00:12:56It seems as though the heavens are on fire.
00:13:01There you go.
00:13:02Here, try these.
00:13:04Thank you, thank you.
00:13:05Thank you indeed.
00:13:16These certainly are splendid matches.
00:13:22Marvelous.
00:13:26Oh, keep those.
00:13:28You're very kind, very kind.
00:13:30Gillis is my name.
00:13:31Jonathan N. Gillis.
00:13:32Mine's Dagwood Bumstead and this is Mrs. Bumstead.
00:13:34How do you do?
00:13:35Happy to meet you.
00:13:37Speaking of matches, do you realize that fire is man's best friend?
00:13:43Why, we couldn't exist without fire.
00:13:46It cooks our meals.
00:13:48It heats our houses.
00:13:49It turns the wheels of industry.
00:13:52When you have anything that has to be destroyed, what do you do with it?
00:13:56Burn it.
00:13:59Why, where would civilization be without fire?
00:14:02For that matter, where would the fireman be?
00:14:10Darling, don't you think we'd better go in now?
00:14:13Oh, I hope I'm not driving you away.
00:14:15Oh, no, not at all.
00:14:16We have a baby.
00:14:17We must go see how he is.
00:14:18Oh, well, I hope you find him all right.
00:14:20Oh, thank you.
00:14:21Good night.
00:14:22Good night.
00:14:23And thanks for the matches.
00:14:25Oh, that's all right.
00:14:26Good night.
00:14:35I thought you said eight.
00:14:36No, I said ten.
00:14:41Baby Dumplings, something's happened to him.
00:14:43Where could he have gone?
00:14:47That man.
00:14:53What did you do with our baby?
00:14:56Answer me. Where's our baby?
00:14:57What'd you do with him?
00:14:58Speak up.
00:14:59I haven't seen your baby.
00:15:00I don't know anything about him.
00:15:03Say, what do you mean by waking me up like this?
00:15:06Come on, Dagwood.
00:15:07We'll go look for him.
00:15:11Pardon me, gentlemen.
00:15:12Has anybody seen a little boy about so big?
00:15:14I haven't seen anything bigger than an eight-spot all evening.
00:15:19Baby Dumpling!
00:15:21Baby Dumpling!
00:15:23Pardon me.
00:15:24That's where I get off.
00:15:30He couldn't possibly have fallen off the train.
00:15:32Oh.
00:15:33Blondie, don't.
00:15:54Gee, it's a big responsibility to be a father.
00:16:25Dagwood!
00:16:28Look.
00:16:29It's prettier than it was in the boulder.
00:16:34Oh, boy. Fishing.
00:16:36All those lovely trees.
00:16:44Mommy, Baby likes the lovely trees, too.
00:16:49Mommy, Baby likes the lovely trees, too.
00:17:00Have a nice trip, Mr. Morton.
00:17:02Are those reservations coming along?
00:17:03Well, slowly as usual, I suppose.
00:17:09Dagwood!
00:17:19Look, Mommy.
00:17:20There's the big bad wolf.
00:17:32Would you like something facing the lake?
00:17:34Yes, I think that would be fine.
00:17:38No babies and dogs allowed.
00:17:40But, Mr. Morton, I...
00:17:41It's a new rule.
00:17:42So it's you.
00:17:43It certainly is me.
00:17:44And get out before I have you thrown out.
00:17:47You mean you're not going to give us a room?
00:17:50Get out.
00:17:51You hear me?
00:17:52Get out!
00:17:53Don't you hear him, Dagwood?
00:17:56We didn't want to stay here anyways.
00:18:00I'm sorry to make a scene, sir.
00:18:02But when objectionable people try to get admittance to this hotel...
00:18:05Objectionable?
00:18:06You are the objectionable one, sir.
00:18:08Your conduct is unforgivable.
00:18:10Those young people are friends of mine.
00:18:12Well, I'm sorry, sir, but you see, there are certain circumstances...
00:18:14You have a reservation here for Jonathan N. Gillis?
00:18:17Yes, sir.
00:18:19Reservation for Mr. Jonathan N. Gillis.
00:18:22When you find it, burn it.
00:18:34Blondie!
00:18:39We passed this log before.
00:18:41I remember those three pine cones on it.
00:18:44You're wrong, darling.
00:18:46That was another log.
00:18:47It only had two cones on it.
00:18:51I put one on it every time we pass it.
00:18:54Well, baby dumpling, why didn't you say something about it before?
00:18:58I wasn't sure myself the first two times.
00:19:06Come on.
00:19:11Come on.
00:19:17No wonder we couldn't find it.
00:19:19Yeah, it's kind of quiet.
00:19:42How do you do?
00:19:44How do you do?
00:19:45Have you any rooms?
00:19:46Oh, yes.
00:19:47What is your rate?
00:19:48Oh, we have an excellent rate by the week.
00:19:50$30 with meals.
00:19:53Of course you needn't pay for the baby.
00:19:55I can let you have a large room on the lakeside.
00:19:57There's a beautiful view.
00:19:59I'll show it to you.
00:20:00Just follow me.
00:20:02Baby, you and Daisy wait here.
00:20:06Good evening.
00:20:07Matthew, I was going to show this lady and gentleman...
00:20:10number 15.
00:20:11Perhaps you'd like to do it.
00:20:13This is my husband, Mr. Dickerson.
00:20:15Dear, this is...
00:20:16I'm Mr. and Miss Bombstead.
00:20:18Glad to know you.
00:20:19Hello.
00:20:20How do you do?
00:20:21Right this way.
00:20:22I'll try to amuse the baby.
00:20:27What's your name?
00:20:28Baby dumpling.
00:20:30And this is Daisy.
00:20:32Are you having a nice vacation?
00:20:34Not yet.
00:20:40Oh.
00:20:44Do you like it?
00:20:45Why, it's lovely.
00:20:48Here's the bath.
00:20:52Both spigots are marked cold...
00:20:54but the one on the right is hot...
00:20:56if you let it run long enough.
00:20:58Well, the spigots in our bathroom are like that, too...
00:21:00only the cold comes out of the hot.
00:21:02Oh, we'll get used to it.
00:21:04A real fireplace.
00:21:06Oh, Dagwood.
00:21:07It's heavenly.
00:21:08We'll take it.
00:21:09Well, there's only one thing.
00:21:11But your wife said $30 with meals.
00:21:13Yes, that's quite all right, only...
00:21:15you see, it's customary.
00:21:17That is, we consider it a sort of policy to...
00:21:20to...
00:21:21Yes?
00:21:22To get one week's rent in advance.
00:21:24Oh, sure.
00:21:25Have you got anything else?
00:21:31No.
00:21:32No.
00:21:39Ten...
00:21:4020...
00:21:4125...
00:21:4230.
00:21:43Thank you, madam.
00:21:44I'll bring your grips up immediately.
00:21:47Mommy, is this where we live?
00:21:50Why, baby, how did you find us?
00:21:52I thought you'd like it, so I brought up your things.
00:21:55Oh, you shouldn't have carried those heavy bags.
00:21:58No.
00:21:59Emily, I've told you time after time.
00:22:01It was no trouble at all.
00:22:03Matthew, dear, Mr. Holden is downstairs.
00:22:06Oh.
00:22:08If you want anything, just ask.
00:22:15I think they're very nice.
00:22:17Yes, they are, but they act strange.
00:22:19I wonder if anything could be wrong around here.
00:22:21Dagwood, this is a vacation.
00:22:23Now, don't begin imagining things.
00:22:26Oh, dear, look at your child.
00:22:29Whenever he looks like that, he's my child.
00:22:33Baby, you have to be cleaned up.
00:22:35I thought this was a vacation.
00:22:58Pardon me. I'm out of magic. Could I...
00:23:58Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:24:28Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:24:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:24:56Dagwood, if you'll open the bag, I'll...
00:25:01Oh, look, baby.
00:25:03Daddy has started a lovely fire.
00:25:06Now, don't get too close, dear.
00:25:08Mommy.
00:25:10Do I hang my stockings up tonight?
00:25:13No, baby.
00:25:14This isn't Christmas. This is vacation.
00:25:19Oh, pardon me.
00:25:21Dagwood.
00:25:23What's the matter with you?
00:25:31Blondie, there's something wrong with this hotel.
00:25:33Nonsense.
00:25:35But it's true. I tell you, it's scary.
00:25:37Don't be scared, Daddy. We're with you.
00:25:41There's not a soul on this whole floor but us.
00:25:44Dagwood, that's silly.
00:25:46The rooms are vacant.
00:25:48Just the bare furniture, no linen, nothing.
00:25:52How did you find that out?
00:25:54Well, I want to start a fire, and I didn't have any matches, so...
00:26:01Well, while I was gone, you...
00:26:05Didn't you?
00:26:10I didn't either.
00:26:14Baby Dumplin', I cautioned you not to play with matches.
00:26:18I had them in the bathroom, tidying them up.
00:26:22I didn't have any matches.
00:26:24I didn't have any matches.
00:26:26I didn't have any matches.
00:26:28Tidying them up.
00:26:31He couldn't.
00:26:33You couldn't.
00:26:35I couldn't.
00:26:37There wasn't anybody in the room but Daisy.
00:26:40Daisy, did you?
00:26:47I didn't either.
00:26:53It's only the fire.
00:26:56Yeah, sure.
00:26:58What are you scared about, Blondie?
00:27:00You act as if you'd seen a...
00:27:02G-H-O-S-T.
00:27:04Daddy, let's stay up tonight and see a ghost.
00:27:09Baby Dumplin', there is no such thing as a ghost.
00:27:12Is there?
00:27:14Of course not.
00:27:16Besides, who ever heard of ghosts living in a hotel?
00:27:19All the ghost stories I've ever heard have been about...
00:27:23Empty houses.
00:27:27Oh, I guess we're just tired, that's all.
00:27:33I'll unpack. Give me the keys.
00:27:53Okay.
00:28:14What are you doing?
00:28:16Just sitting here.
00:28:18What are you sitting on?
00:28:21That settles it. Don't unpack.
00:28:24What are you going to do?
00:28:26I'm going to ask for our money back.
00:28:28I don't like this place.
00:28:30Wait a minute. We'll go with you.
00:28:32I'm not going to stay in this room alone.
00:28:36But, Mr. Holden, you're the president of the bank.
00:28:39Surely you can do something about it.
00:28:42You forget, Emily, that Morton purposely loaned you more than the bank could lend you now.
00:28:47He was determined to get control of your property.
00:28:50Of course, if your hotel was a thriving business, the bank could assume the loan.
00:28:54But under the present conditions, you just can't.
00:28:58Then our only hope is Morton.
00:29:01You know how he is.
00:29:03Yes, he's ruthless.
00:29:05No use asking him for a favor.
00:29:07But, Matthew, it's due tomorrow.
00:29:10Believe me, Emily, if there were any way...
00:29:12Thanks.
00:29:18I'm sorry, Matthew.
00:29:20Good night.
00:29:28Matthew, you mustn't take it so hard.
00:29:32Matthew!
00:29:33There's one way out of it.
00:29:35I could kill him.
00:29:40Who's there?
00:29:43Mice.
00:29:48Oh, how do you do?
00:29:51Hello.
00:30:00Is there anything wrong?
00:30:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:30:04Nothing's wrong. Everything's just...
00:30:06Just dandy, only...
00:30:08Only...
00:30:09Only...
00:30:11Only Mommy and Daddy are scared.
00:30:14Mommy and Daddy are scared.
00:30:18Baby, that's silly.
00:30:20That's silly.
00:30:26No, we're really not scared.
00:30:28But the bed seems a little...
00:30:31Well, there's not much going on around here, and...
00:30:34I understand, Mr. Buffsett.
00:30:36We have only one other guest besides you, Mr. Gillis.
00:30:40Oh, Mr. Gillis.
00:30:43We had to have some money to buy food.
00:30:46That's the reason why we asked for the rent in advance.
00:30:50Here's $25.
00:30:52I spent the rest of it.
00:30:54I'll repay it as soon as I can.
00:30:56I'm sorry.
00:31:14I feel terrible.
00:31:16I've got $5.
00:31:18$5 isn't much.
00:31:20Mr. Dithers thought it was a lot when I asked for a raise.
00:31:23Dagwood, this is no time to think of ourselves.
00:31:26Those people are in trouble.
00:31:28Yeah.
00:31:30They're awfully old, aren't they?
00:31:32I wonder if we'll be like that when we get old.
00:31:36You said that last night.
00:31:38Yes.
00:31:40You said that last night.
00:31:42Yes.
00:31:44And when we get old, we might need somebody to help us.
00:31:47I'll help you, Mommy.
00:31:56There's nobody to help them unless...
00:32:05You and Daisy stay here with the baggage, dear.
00:32:10Okay.
00:32:19Help me a bit, Daisy.
00:32:29We, uh...
00:32:31We were wondering if we could help.
00:32:36There's nothing that can't be fixed.
00:32:39Why is this hotel empty anyway?
00:32:41The owner of the hotel across the lake has seen to that.
00:32:44Morton?
00:32:46I knew there was something mean about that man.
00:32:48You know him?
00:32:50Yeah. He wouldn't let us in his hotel.
00:32:52What has he got against you people?
00:32:54He tricked us into remodeling this hotel.
00:32:56We had to borrow the money, and then he got control of the loan.
00:33:00He's going to take this place away from us tomorrow.
00:33:03Can't you borrow the money anywhere else?
00:33:05Mr. Holden said he couldn't lend us the money
00:33:07unless we had a thriving business.
00:33:09Who's Mr. Holden?
00:33:11President of the bank in the village.
00:33:13Thriving business.
00:33:15Rather impossible, isn't it?
00:33:17Nothing's impossible.
00:33:21We'll show him. We'll put this hotel in order.
00:33:24We'll paint signs. We'll meet the trains.
00:33:27We'll fill every room.
00:33:29Why, by tomorrow night, this'll be the brightest spot in Lake Kenobi.
00:33:34We've been expecting this.
00:33:36The light company said they'd cut us off tonight
00:33:38unless the bill was paid.
00:33:40The candles, Emily.
00:33:46Stop it, Daisy.
00:33:48We've had trouble enough.
00:33:51They can't do that.
00:33:53Dagwood, telephone the light company
00:33:55and tell them you'll be responsible.
00:33:57Yes.
00:34:04They cut the phone off this morning.
00:34:06Oh.
00:34:10Well, don't you worry, folks.
00:34:12We'll send them a check in the morning.
00:34:14Dagwood'll take care of everything.
00:34:16He'll act as manager.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:21Baby dumpling.
00:34:25You're a bad kitty. A bad kitty.
00:34:28Where's Daisy?
00:34:33Oh.
00:34:42This is it.
00:34:50Here you are. Keep the change.
00:34:52Thank you, sir.
00:34:54Still think you should have had breakfast up in the village.
00:35:03Hello?
00:35:24Hello?
00:35:27Hello?
00:35:33Hello?
00:35:43Oh, yeah!
00:35:52Daisy, what is it?
00:35:54Oh.
00:35:57I'm so sorry.
00:35:59We forgot to unlock the door.
00:36:01It'll be all right.
00:36:09Are you looking for someone?
00:36:11Yes. The taxi driver said I'd find a Mr. Gillis here.
00:36:13Oh, yes.
00:36:15Well, can I have a room near him?
00:36:17I think I can give you the room next to him.
00:36:19Nobody's here but us.
00:36:24I wonder where all the bellboys are.
00:36:27I wonder where they are, too.
00:36:29This way, please.
00:36:33When Mr. Gillis gets back, I'll tell him you're in your room.
00:36:36Wait a minute. Isn't he here?
00:36:38Oh, yes. But he went for a little walk.
00:36:40A walk?
00:36:42Listen, don't do anything about that room till I get back.
00:36:46Uncle Jonathan!
00:36:50Uncle Jonathan!
00:37:00Hello, Johnny, my boy!
00:37:04Were you looking for me?
00:37:06You promised you wouldn't run away again, didn't you?
00:37:08Run? I didn't run.
00:37:10No, I took a train.
00:37:12I came along in fine style.
00:37:14Have you any matches?
00:37:16Matches? Matches.
00:37:19I'm sorry, Johnny. I haven't a match.
00:37:21Will you have a cigar?
00:37:23No, thanks, Uncle Jonathan. Let's see.
00:37:30Oh, no, Johnny.
00:37:32How am I going to light my cigar?
00:37:34I'll light your cigar for you. Come on.
00:37:36Where are we going? Back to the city.
00:37:38Oh, Johnny, why do we have to do that?
00:37:40I like it here.
00:37:42It's so quiet and restful.
00:37:44And I like the young people who are helping at the hotel.
00:37:47You like them?
00:37:49Yes, they're very nice.
00:37:51Couldn't we stay here for a day or two?
00:37:53Oh, yes.
00:37:55Very nice.
00:37:57Couldn't we stay here for a day or two?
00:38:00Do you promise to behave yourself?
00:38:02Very well.
00:38:04But no tricks, no.
00:38:06Thank you, Johnny. Thank you so much.
00:38:08No tricks whatsoever.
00:38:12Now.
00:38:26Now.
00:38:34Baby dumpling.
00:38:37New baby.
00:38:41Now we'll have to do them all over.
00:38:44I'm surprised at you.
00:38:46You ought to be punished.
00:38:48I'll go sit in the corner.
00:38:51No, you won't, young man.
00:38:53No, you won't, young man.
00:38:55You'll stay right here and wipe the dishes.
00:39:02Oh, me.
00:39:15Now try.
00:39:24Mommy.
00:39:26When are you going to wear your new hat?
00:39:28Oh, sometime, I guess.
00:39:30When our vacation really starts.
00:39:32Vacation.
00:39:34I could kick myself.
00:39:36Baby dumpling.
00:39:38How can you say such a thing?
00:39:40Oh, that's wicked.
00:39:42When I'm doing dishes, I feel wicked.
00:39:44Baby dumpling.
00:39:47I can't help it.
00:39:49It brings out the worst in me.
00:39:53Mrs. Bumstead, something dreadful has happened.
00:39:56What is it?
00:39:57The vacuum cleaner won't work.
00:39:59I ripped the bag.
00:40:00Well, don't worry.
00:40:01Dagwood can fix it.
00:40:15See? He fixed the bag.
00:40:17Come on.
00:40:24Come on.
00:40:31Dagwood, you had it running.
00:40:33What did you stop it for?
00:40:34I think you did well to make it go at all.
00:40:36What do you think the trouble is, Mr. Bumstead?
00:40:39A couple of cylinders are missing.
00:40:41Well, they must be around here somewhere.
00:40:43We'll just look till we find them.
00:40:45Blondie, they're here, but they're missing.
00:40:50Now, Dagwood, that doesn't make sense.
00:40:52They're missing.
00:40:54Look, Blondie, there are six cylinders.
00:40:57One, two, three, four, five.
00:41:05See? You got this problem right.
00:41:07Well, here I go.
00:41:09Did you get Mr. Dickerson the check?
00:41:11Oh.
00:41:15Don't forget to pay the light bill and the telephone.
00:41:19Yes, and the telephone.
00:41:22Stay here, Daisy.
00:41:28Careful, Matthew.
00:41:30Be careful.
00:41:32Come on.
00:41:37I should have given him the hammer, Daddy.
00:41:52Come on.
00:42:09Mommy.
00:42:10Hmm?
00:42:11Did you know today's your birthday?
00:42:13Of course I knew today was my birthday.
00:42:16How did you know that?
00:42:17Daddy told me so if he forgot, I could remind him.
00:42:22You haven't reminded him yet, have you?
00:42:25No, I'm giving him a chance to think of it himself.
00:42:29Well, don't remind him.
00:42:36Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy.
00:42:39Oh, Daisy.
00:42:43Don't mind Daisy, Mommy.
00:42:45She still thinks we're on a vacation.
00:42:47Baby, you and Daisy go out and watch for the bus.
00:42:50All right.
00:43:16Mommy.
00:43:24Mommy.
00:43:33Mommy.
00:43:37Mommy.
00:43:38Oh, dear.
00:43:46Oh, dear.
00:43:56What is it?
00:43:57Oh, look.
00:43:59Why don't you turn it off?
00:44:00I can't. The switch is on the handle.
00:44:03Thank goodness.
00:44:11Are you hurt?
00:44:13Mommy.
00:44:14Mommy.
00:44:15The bus is coming.
00:44:17Oh, my goodness.
00:44:18Oh, Dagwood.
00:44:20Hurry and get your coat.
00:44:22Huh? Oh, the coat.
00:44:34Shh.
00:44:35Daisy, hush.
00:44:36Hurry up, Dagwood.
00:44:38Oh, Dagwood, you can't put the coat on until you take the coveralls off.
00:44:43Is there a fresh sheet in the register?
00:44:45I'll look and see.
00:44:46Yes, there is one.
00:44:48I wonder if we have enough rooms made up.
00:44:50All the rooms are ready.
00:44:51Now, you see, darling, didn't I tell you everything would be all right?
00:44:55Now, baby, remember what Mommy told you to do.
00:44:58Dagwood, you take care of the baggage.
00:45:01You know, I don't know. I have a feeling something's wrong.
00:45:04Daddy.
00:45:06Oh.
00:45:09Bondi.
00:45:11Now what is it?
00:45:13My pants are in there and the door's locked.
00:45:16Where are the keys?
00:45:17Well, I gave them to you this morning.
00:45:18What did you do with them?
00:45:22They're in there in my pants pocket.
00:45:24Oh, goodness.
00:45:28Now, see what you've done.
00:45:30Oh, dear, there they come.
00:45:31You'll have to hide.
00:45:33Where do I hide?
00:45:34In there.
00:45:37And it's locked.
00:45:38Oh, Dagwood, hide someplace.
00:45:43Here, Daddy.
00:45:46Oh, you're always showing off.
00:45:48We haven't time to correct him now.
00:45:49Put them on.
00:45:50Come on, baby.
00:46:07Are you Mr. Bumstead?
00:46:09Yes, sir.
00:46:10Welcome to Westview Inn.
00:46:13Mr. Bumstead, how about this plumbing bill for $22?
00:46:16I'm from the bakery.
00:46:17It's a little matter of $14.
00:46:19Mr. Bumstead, this grocery bill is long overdue.
00:46:21Tim, not George.
00:46:23I told you gentlemen that Mr. Bumstead had nothing to do with this.
00:46:26He's a guest.
00:46:27It says acting manager on that sign.
00:46:29Now, listen.
00:46:30He paid the telephone and light bill, and we want ours.
00:46:33We certainly do.
00:46:35He's driving!
00:46:44What's the matter, honey?
00:46:46That guy who wanted $0.39 interest burned me up.
00:46:50It cost us $416.52.
00:46:56Haven't you even any checks left?
00:46:58No, sir.
00:47:01Haven't you even any checks left?
00:47:03There are a few upstairs in my bag, but they're not much good.
00:47:07We only have $30.18 left in the bank.
00:47:11It says $20.18.
00:47:13I know, but I always have $10 that I pretend I haven't got in case I spend more than I thought I had.
00:47:24Mr. Bumstead, I'd like nothing better than to help,
00:47:27but unfortunately that mortgage is held by Morton, not us.
00:47:31I sincerely believe that if you had a chance, you could build that hotel into a thriving business.
00:47:37And I assure you that if I could see any promise of that,
00:47:40I'd be more than happy to offer you financial assistance.
00:47:43Then what should I do?
00:47:44Get an extension.
00:47:46I've an idea that Morton would listen to you.
00:47:49Why don't you have a talk with him?
00:47:50That's a good idea, only...
00:47:52Do you know Morton?
00:47:54Well, yes and no.
00:47:56Mostly yes.
00:47:57Well, you can't get killed for trying.
00:48:00No, I can't get killed.
00:48:02Under the law, Morton can take possession at midnight,
00:48:05and I imagine he will unless someone...
00:48:07I'll do it.
00:48:08I've gotta do it.
00:48:10I'll telephone him that you're coming over.
00:48:12You're coming over.
00:48:42Come on.
00:49:13Call the fire department.
00:49:15Ring the alarm bell.
00:49:16Get the fire extinguishers.
00:49:17Get the sheriff.
00:49:18Get him.
00:49:43Come on, baby.
00:49:45How much did they charge?
00:49:47They charged starting a fire in a restricted area,
00:49:50trespassing, creating a disturbance,
00:49:52and other things I didn't understand.
00:49:54Anyhow, it cost $30.18.
00:49:59Now, how do you suppose they knew that's all we had?
00:50:04You wouldn't think that man Morton would be able to exist in a community like this.
00:50:08It's too bad his hotel didn't burn down.
00:50:11Instead of the bus...
00:50:14Say, Johnny...
00:50:15Keep packing, Uncle Jonathan.
00:50:25I'm going into that hotel and tell that man just what I think of him.
00:50:29Now, Blondie, one of us has to have some sense.
00:50:36Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
00:50:38Here, kitty.
00:50:41Here, kitty.
00:50:47You're a nice kitty,
00:50:49but you have a funny tail.
00:50:51Doesn't he, Daisy?
00:51:08Baby dumpling!
00:51:11Daisy, come back here!
00:51:12Baby dumpling, what have you done?
00:51:21He wasn't a nice kitty, was he?
00:51:24P.U.
00:51:30Here, Daisy.
00:51:31Daisy!
00:51:42Can it be the trees that fill the breeze
00:51:47With rare and magic perfume?
00:51:52Oh, no, it isn't the breeze
00:51:57It's love in bloom
00:52:03Can it be the spring that seems to bring
00:52:07Can it be the spring that seems to bring
00:52:11The stars right into my room?
00:52:15Oh, no...
00:52:18Get me the engineer.
00:52:27Thank goodness nobody saw us.
00:52:29Come on, baby.
00:52:38Hey, you!
00:52:42Come on.
00:52:44Everybody's leaving.
00:52:45What?
00:52:50Is that all of the Bumstead's baggage?
00:52:53Yes.
00:52:54It's all here.
00:52:58Matthew, it took us many years to get this all together.
00:53:02And now...
00:53:03Yes, certainly.
00:53:05But I don't feel so badly for ourselves as I do for those young people.
00:53:09We've caused them an awful lot of trouble.
00:53:13Hurry, baby!
00:53:14What's happened?
00:53:15There's a mob after us!
00:53:18What's the matter?
00:53:19There's a crowd of people after the Bumstead's.
00:53:21You go back upstairs, Uncle Jonathan.
00:53:23Oh, now, Johnny.
00:53:24Do as I say.
00:53:27What's the matter with you?
00:53:29How are you?
00:53:30This is all right.
00:53:31This is fine.
00:53:32He ruined the bag.
00:53:33I was here...
00:53:34Never mind now.
00:53:37Baby Dumpling, you and Daisy stay here.
00:53:40Come on, Dagwood.
00:53:44A miracle!
00:53:46I skunk.
00:53:47I don't know how you did it, but you did it.
00:53:50Good girl.
00:53:51Oh, thanks.
00:53:53Mrs. Dickerson, Baby Dumpling's clothes must be changed.
00:53:56Can you attend to it for me?
00:53:58Of course.
00:54:00Mr. Dickerson, will you and Mr. Larkin take the desk?
00:54:05Dagwood, you handle the baggage.
00:54:08Why don't you let Mr. Larkin handle the baggage?
00:54:10I'm the acting manager.
00:54:12This is no time to quibble over position.
00:54:15And stop acting jealous.
00:54:18Ladies and gentlemen...
00:54:20Ladies and gentlemen...
00:54:21Ladies and gentlemen...
00:54:22If you'll just have patience, we'll try to accommodate every one of you.
00:54:26The hotel is practically...
00:54:28What I'm trying to say is...
00:54:30We have quite a bit of room.
00:54:31So if you'll just make yourselves at home and wait...
00:54:34That's fine.
00:54:35Come on.
00:54:43Boy.
00:54:44Oh, boy.
00:54:53Ladies and gentlemen...
00:54:54Ladies and gentlemen...
00:54:55Ladies and gentlemen...
00:55:01Ladies and gentlemen...
00:55:02Ladies and gentlemen...
00:55:03Just a minute.
00:55:05On behalf of the Lake Hotel...
00:55:07I wish to apologize for this inconvenience.
00:55:10And to express my apologies in something more tangible than words...
00:55:13I would like to have you all be my guests at either hotel for the remainder of this week.
00:55:18The animals have been driven out...
00:55:20And my hotel will be ready for occupancy tomorrow.
00:55:23Come on, Daisy.
00:55:24We'll go back to his old hotel and chase the kiddies in again.
00:55:30This seems a fitting time for me to announce that this hotel will be my property...
00:55:34After midnight.
00:55:38Therefore...
00:55:39The temporary management...
00:55:41The temporary management...
00:55:45Cannot object to my bringing my staff here to make you comfortable.
00:55:54Now, just a minute, please.
00:55:56If you'll all go to the desk, you'll be assigned your rooms.
00:55:59Good night.
00:56:00And I'll see you in the morning.
00:56:01Good night.
00:56:05Dagwood, are you going to let that man get away with this?
00:56:12Now, just a minute, you can't...
00:56:13I'm having a restraining order issued to prevent you leaving this county.
00:56:17I'm bringing a damage suit against you tomorrow.
00:56:20And it's going to cost you plenty.
00:56:31Uncle Jonathan!
00:56:32Come on now, Johnny.
00:56:35I've been dreading to tell you about this, my boy.
00:56:38About what?
00:56:40My nephew, Larkin.
00:56:42He's not to be trusted.
00:56:45Look at him.
00:56:50There's a skunk in this hotel, too.
00:56:54Take your hands off my wife!
00:56:57I think I'll take a little walk.
00:57:00Dagwood Bumstead.
00:57:01I warned you that the next time you showed that vicious, jealous streak,
00:57:05I'd leave you.
00:57:06And this is the next time, and I'm leaving!
00:57:09Bonnie, dear.
00:57:10I only pushed him.
00:57:11Don't you touch me.
00:57:14For you, I'm going to kill you.
00:57:17I'm going to kill you.
00:57:18I'm going to kill you.
00:57:19I'm going to kill you.
00:57:20I'm going to kill you.
00:57:21I'm going to kill you.
00:57:22I'm going to kill you.
00:57:23I'm going to kill you.
00:57:24Don't you touch me.
00:57:26For years, we planned this vacation.
00:57:28So what happened?
00:57:29You brought me up here and got me in all this mess.
00:57:32Mixed up with a lot of trouble and a lot of skunks.
00:57:35And I've stood for it all because I loved you.
00:57:37And I'll always love you.
00:57:39But today was my birthday, and you didn't even remember it.
00:57:44Bonnie, dear.
00:57:45Mr. Bumstead, he's disappeared.
00:57:47Disappeared? Who?
00:57:48The baby.
00:57:49Baby Dumpling?
00:57:50Where was he?
00:57:51In the storeroom.
00:57:52I left him alone a minute when I got back.
00:57:53He was gone.
00:57:56Where's Uncle Jonathan?
00:57:57Now, now, Mr. Larkin.
00:57:58Mr. Gillis is all right.
00:58:00He just went for a little walk.
00:58:11Well, how's everything?
00:58:12Oh, we located the skunks all right.
00:58:14They're in the pipes on the second floor.
00:58:16Well, then get them out.
00:58:17Well, every time we try to get at them,
00:58:18it just stirs them up and makes matters worse.
00:58:20So we took out the fan and opened the pipe outlets,
00:58:23and they'll wander out during the night.
00:58:24Good.
00:58:25This hotel must be ready for occupancy tomorrow.
00:58:27Oh, now, just a minute, Mr. Larkin.
00:58:29You won't be able to use this hotel for several months.
00:58:31The carpets and the drapes.
00:58:33For months?
00:58:34Why, that'll ruin me.
00:58:35What are you talking about?
00:58:36Well, evidently, you don't know much about skunks.
00:58:39Any time you've had them around,
00:58:40you ought to burn everything, even your clothes.
00:58:43Burn everything?
00:58:44Well, I'm sorry, sir, but that's the way it is.
00:58:46We'll be here early in the morning.
00:58:48Good night.
00:58:50Good night.
00:58:59That's enough, Daisy.
00:59:00Come back now.
00:59:01Daisy.
00:59:04Daisy.
00:59:05Get lost.
00:59:20Come on.
00:59:50Come on.
00:59:51Come on.
00:59:52Come on.
01:00:20Come on, Daisy.
01:00:21Now, now, dear, everything's going to be all right.
01:00:25Did he ever run away before?
01:00:28But not at night.
01:00:30They'll find him, dear.
01:00:31Maybe he's with Mr. Gillis.
01:00:52Don't be scared, Daisy.
01:00:54Be like me.
01:00:55I'm not scared.
01:01:11Did you find him?
01:01:14No.
01:01:16I've been all around the house.
01:01:19I've been all around the lake.
01:01:21Don't worry, dear.
01:01:23He'll be all right.
01:01:24Everybody's looking for him.
01:01:26We'll find him.
01:01:27Of course.
01:01:28I'm not worried.
01:01:30You're the one that's worried.
01:01:32No, I'm not.
01:01:33I'm just tired.
01:01:39Did you see my uncle?
01:01:49How could it be?
01:01:52I didn't...
01:01:53Mommy!
01:01:54Mommy!
01:01:55Mommy!
01:01:56Mommy!
01:01:57Mommy!
01:01:58Mommy!
01:01:59Mommy!
01:02:00Mommy!
01:02:01Mommy!
01:02:02They're going to tell us, Bernie.
01:02:04They're going to see the place from upstairs.
01:02:07Oh.
01:02:08Oh.
01:02:09Oh.
01:02:10Oh.
01:02:11Oh.
01:02:12Oh.
01:02:13Oh.
01:02:14Oh.
01:02:15Oh.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:18Oh.
01:02:19Oh.
01:02:20Oh.
01:02:21Oh.
01:02:22Oh.
01:02:23Oh.
01:02:24Oh.
01:02:25Mommy.
01:02:26Daddy.
01:02:28I wonder if they be jumping you.
01:02:31No.
01:02:32No.
01:02:33Certainly not.
01:02:34Of course not.
01:02:35Come in dear.
01:02:37Well, that's the end of the lake hotel.
01:02:41Thank goodness we all got out.
01:02:47Mommy!
01:02:49Mommy!
01:02:51Mommy!
01:03:01Open the door.
01:03:03It's locked.
01:03:05This is a fine time to lock a door.
01:03:07Where's the key?
01:03:09Baby, have you seen the key?
01:03:13Come on, hurry.
01:03:15Hurry, find the key.
01:03:21It's locked.
01:03:29Come on, let's get out of here.
01:03:45Mommy!
01:03:55Mommy!
01:03:57Daddy!
01:04:15What are they singing about?
01:04:17He's a jolly good fellow.
01:04:19He's a jolly good fellow.
01:04:21Nobody can deny.
01:04:23Nobody can deny.
01:04:25Nobody can deny.
01:04:27He's a jolly good fellow.
01:04:29He's a jolly good fellow.
01:04:31He's a jolly good fellow.
01:04:33Nobody can deny.
01:04:37Baby dumpling.
01:04:39Baby dumpling.
01:04:41Uncle Jonathan, he saved the baby's life.
01:04:43Uncle Jonathan, how can I ever thank you?
01:04:45Don't bother, my dear, don't bother.
01:04:47Thank you, Mr. Gillis.
01:04:49Not at all, not at all.
01:04:51Uncle Jonathan.
01:04:53Oh, hello, Johnny, my boy.
01:04:55Come on, Uncle Jonathan.
01:04:57Let me take him, dear.
01:04:59Oh, no, no.
01:05:01Nobody's going to take him ever.
01:05:05Uncle Jonathan, why did you break your promise to me?
01:05:07Promise?
01:05:09Promise?
01:05:11I never broke any promise, Johnny, my boy.
01:05:13Oh, this is going to cost us every cent we have.
01:05:19This is the man.
01:05:21You're under arrest. The charge is arson.
01:05:23No, no.
01:05:25But I never did.
01:05:27Of course he never.
01:05:29Sheriff Weaver, this is an outrage.
01:05:31Well, he's going to jail.
01:05:33And as far as you're concerned, you'll be out of this hotel in a few minutes.
01:05:35Take him along.
01:05:37All right, I don't mind going.
01:05:39I don't mind anything.
01:05:41As long as Baby Dumplin' is found.
01:05:43Dagwood?
01:05:45Uncle Jonathan,
01:05:47are you going to let that boy go to jail for what you did?
01:05:49But I didn't, Johnny, my boy.
01:05:51I had nothing to do with it.
01:05:53I was going to.
01:05:55But some dirty dog beat me to it.
01:05:59You be a good boy and mind Mommy, Baby Dumplin'.
01:06:03Daddy,
01:06:05there's the man that set the hotel on fire.
01:06:09What man?
01:06:11Him.
01:06:13Baby Dumplin',
01:06:15are you sure of what you're saying?
01:06:17He burned his finger.
01:06:19Look.
01:06:21Why, that's absurd.
01:06:23Me burn my own hotel?
01:06:25I lost everything I had.
01:06:27He didn't lose the money or the papers.
01:06:29What money and papers?
01:06:31He put them in his pocket.
01:06:33Daisy saw him, too.
01:06:35Didn't you, Daisy?
01:06:37What if I think we have a right to see
01:06:39if the baby's telling the truth?
01:06:41Why don't you search him?
01:06:43You have no right to search me.
01:06:45Wait a minute.
01:06:51It was an accident.
01:06:53Take him out, boys.
01:06:57Uncle Jonathan,
01:06:59you gave me a terrible scare.
01:07:01Don't worry, my boy.
01:07:03It'll never happen again.
01:07:05The Westview Inn is the only hotel
01:07:07in Lake Kenobi now.
01:07:09I guess it'll do a thriving business for it.
01:07:11You've given us a new life.
01:07:13Mr. Holden, I'd like to arrange
01:07:15for the Bumsteads to have a half-interest.
01:07:17Just think, dear,
01:07:19a half-interest.
01:07:21No. Oh, no.
01:07:23We don't want a half-interest.
01:07:25All we want is $446.70.
01:07:27Oh, but, Blondie...
01:07:31Excuse us for a minute, please.
01:07:35Dagwood,
01:07:37we're not going into the hotel business.
01:07:39We'll stay just like we are,
01:07:41in our own house, in our own neighborhood.
01:07:43I want to know where everything is,
01:07:45including Baby Dumpling.
01:07:49For half a minute,
01:07:51I was a half a hotel owner.
01:08:05Where are we going?
01:08:07Home.
01:08:09Home?
01:08:11I sure am glad,
01:08:13because I think I left the water running
01:08:15in the bathtub.
