It’s a Sunday afternoon, and the movie industry is closed for the day. Mama and papa Bloom take a relaxing drive in the car to meet up with their daughter Sarah. He worries over Sidney’s latest escapades, and how much money it may cost him. Becky just wants him to calm down, relax and have a good time.

Becky and Jake Bicker over her tendency to have a long memory. When they stopped to rest, Jake look forward to taking off his shoes. They catch up with their children, and have no time before they have to file them in heavy traffic.

Sydney and Sally think it will be fun to go to an amusement park.

The youngsters enjoy the time ticking in the sites and the part. Is Jake too old to take his chances to test his strength? Can he ring the bell with a mallet? Maybe he’ll do better in the shooting gallery.

The tired Jake suddenly seems to be having a lot of fun. Becky tries her hand, and gets five out of five of her shots. What’s a nice Jewish lady going to do with the prize hand? Will the darkened fun house be too much for Jake?
