Ed. Davis, General Manager of a washing machine company, is a successful business man, who needs a long vacation. When an elderly employee of his company retires, Ed, too, dreams of going away with his wife to enjoy his declining years without business worries and ulcers. But Ed and his wife, Kay, cannot call their souls their own when the boss and his wife force them to accept engagements for business reasons and otherwise make life miserable. So Ed speaks his mind to his boss and is fired. The next act finds them settled in an apartment in Florida. Everything promises happiness, even the simple neighbors. Soon, however, the Davises begin to get on each other's nerves and when their daughter and her husband appear, Ed secretly plans to go into business again. But these plans turn out disastrously and Ed is faced with bankruptcy. He is even ready to ask for a humble job with his ex-boss, when the big boss appears. The boss misses Ed and fears for the security of his company, and Ed is offered every inducement to return. Ed and his wife are delighted to return to New York and the things which only a big city can offer.
