Plot

After inheriting some money, Harold Bissonette (mispronounced by his pompous wife as "biss-on-ay") decides to give up the grocery business, move to California, and run an orange ranch. 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, self-involved daughter Mildred, and bothersome son Norman. As they pass several prosperous orange groves, his wife softens and figures he made a good purchase. Unfortunately, his family's doubts prove correct: his barren plot contains only a tumbledown shack and a tumbleweed. Disgusted, his wife and family walk out on him. As he sits down on the car's running board, the car collapses under his weight.
