If their house was creaky, Mrs. Dowdel was about ready to fall over. Then there is Mrs. Dowdel herself. While Bob tries to stay as far away as possible, his youngest sister falls in love with Mrs. Dowdel. Soon she is wandering around acting as strange as Mrs. Dowdel. But then Bob finds himself hog tied in Mrs. Dowdel's outhouse. Rather than make a fuss, Mrs. Dowdel helps him down, and helps him get even.
