In this episode, Mrs. Lockhart, the romantic and adventurous half of the couple, persuades her pragmatic husband Will to ditch his usual fishing trip for their tenth wedding anniversary and instead embark on a grand vacation to Europe. Will, a businessman with a dry wit and a preference for simplicity, is initially resistant, but his wife’s enthusiasm wins out. The episode likely focuses on their banter and the comedic contrast between their personalities as they begin plotting the journey from New York to Europe by ship—a luxurious prospect in 1930, when the Great Depression made such travel a distant dream for most Americans.

As a surviving episode (one of the first seven known to exist), it captures the lighthearted tone and escapist appeal that defined the series. Gene Lockhart, who also wrote much of the show, blends humor with a relatable domestic dynamic, setting up the travelogue that would unfold over the next 12 episodes.
