Barely have the Ways left the house than the caretakers settle down to solve the problem of enjoying themselves. The two are discovering the meaning of solid comfort for the first time in their young lives, when Jean, Mrs. Way's cousin, arrives on a visit. Jean has never met Mr. Way and when she sees Mac, the girl throws her arms about him under the belief that he is her relative. This, much to the envy of Bud. Poor Bud, relegated to the position of general factotum, has a hard time of it, until Jean expresses a desire to go automobiling. Since the two caretakers have possession of the key to the garage, it is an easy matter for them to oblige the fair miss. Bud, promoted to the position of chauffeur, proves himself to be worse at that task than at caretaking. After a wild ride that scares poor Jean and Mac out of at least ten years of life, Bud succeeds in bringing the machine home. There a worse scare is in store for the caretakers. Filled with a feeling that all is not well, the Ways have suddenly returned. Jean meets Mrs. Way and is introduced to the latter's husband. Her story fills the Ways with rage and they make a dash for the culprits. With one accord, Bud and Mac tumble into the machine and break all records in speeding away.
