The wife has a lame back and is always complaining. That night they give the youngsters a bath in anticipation of the trip. The next morning everything goes wrong. They have only gone a short distance when Stella discovers that they have forgotten the baby's bottle, so Neal and the baby return for it while the others wait. After looking all over the house for the bottle he finally finds it on the sink. He starts out once more, but forgets the baby, so Stella has to return for it. They arrive at the station just as the train is pulling out, but with the assistance of several onlookers they are helped on board. Neal leaves Stella to mind the children and goes into another car, where he starts a flirtation with Betty, but this only brings trouble, for Stella comes in and takes him out by the ear. Arrived at the fair, they start in to see the sights. Betty's sweetheart is one of the concession men. Neal is anxious to enter some of the concessions, but Stella refuses. He finally manages to break away and runs in to Betty. He invites her to have some ice cream with him, which she does, but one of the children, who has wandered away from his mother to ride on the merry-go-round, discovers his father and goes back to tell his mother on father. Meanwhile the concessionaire has discovered Betty's duplicity and starts out after her. Stella also starts after her husband. They chase each other through the fair grounds. Stella discovers an officer and solicits his aid. They finally catch Neal, and Stella insists upon starting for home immediately, in spite of his protestations.
