This time Mr. Pastry (Richard Hearne) is a grandfather who has just been released from prison. He is well liked at the prison and he would prefer to stay on as the warden's gardener. But Mr Pastry's daughter is now in charge of rehabilitating him and back into society he must go. His daughter and her husband are quite horrible people, only interested in social climbing. They consider him the family disgrace and they plan to lock Mr Pastry into his room during a weekend of business and pleasure at the family estate.
While his daughter and her husband consider Mr. Pastry a great problem, the grandchildren have other views. In fact it is Mr. Pastry who helps the kids out of a tight jam while the parents are trying to find someone to blame. A very whimsical, slapstick affair, with Mr. Pastry suggesting a good heart is perhaps more important than good manners and social standing.
