Released March 20, 1947
Featuring Joe DeRita (Solo)
Columbia
17.25 min. (Short Subject)

Joe Priggle (Joe DeRita) checks into the Shady Shelter Rest Home, and over a jug of applejack, tells the manager (Vernon Dent) his tale of woe and the reason he hates eggs... Answering a lonely hearts message written on an egg, home appliance inventor Joe marries Florobelle (Dorothy Granger) and then discovers that she has an adolescent brat for a son. Stepson Rudolph (Norman Ollestad) turns Joe's home life into a battleground, bringing home everything from a bow & arrow to a miniature cannon as toys. Joe's washing machine invention, which he hopes to sell to Mr. Collins' manufacturing company, becomes Rudolph's latest plaything, with Collins and his board members on the receiving end of the consequences.

A remake of Andy Clyde's Columbia short KNEE ACTION (1937).
