He becomes tired of being henpecked, so he takes the family savings and leaves. At the corner bar, he meets an accident insurance salesman who persuades him to spend most of his money on an accident policy. The sweetheart of Barrow's daughter finds him, and escorts him home. There, Barrow's wife reads the policy, and decides that Barrow must meet with an accident so the money can be returned. Barrow tries various methods of causing an accident, and finally succeeds by sitting on a large rock which is blown into the air by dynamite. His family collects the insurance, and then tries to live the good life. However, a phony Count, whom Mrs. Barrow had wanted to marry her daughter, bilks her husband out of $30,000. The family returns to their former way of life. Written by scsu1975 See less
