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