A slapstick comedy about a henpecked grocer's quixotic escape to California, built on physical gags, marital friction, and the absurdity of pursuing a dream against all odds.

After he inherits some money, Harold Bissonette ("pronounced bis-on-ay") decides to give up the grocery business, move to California and run an orange grove. Despite his family's objections and the news that the land he bought is worthless, Bissonette packs up and drives out to California with his nagging wife Amelia and children.
