Leave It to Dad

In this Educational Pictures short, the boss' secretary is in love with the boss' son and they are planning on getting married. But before this, they plan on having the boss over for dinner to meet her mother. Unfortunately, earlier on that same day, the father and mother have a nasty altercation...not realizing who the other person is. When it's time for dinner, both parents explode at each other and it looks like the marriage is off...and soon the fiancees sneak away to elope without their parents' permission. And, foolishly, the parents call the police and the mother claims the boyfriend abducted her daughter...and soon the police give chase as they think it's a kidnapping. Along the way, the crazy parents cause all sorts of mayhem! And the ending...well, you just have to see that for yourself!

This is NOT a subtle film and the chase is filled with all sorts of nutty but funny sight gags. And the ending, which I won't ruin, is a hoot. Well made and funny.
