Too Busy to Work plot

"Cornerstones! Committees! Little theatres! "Screwball" country cousins! The Joneses have never been so upside down. How would YOU like to have a "screwball" Joan Davis move in on you? Well, that's how the Jonses feel, too."

The women in the Jones family decide to teach Father John Jones a lesson. John neglects the family's best interests by not running for mayor. The women therefore intend to neglect their household chores.
