 Edgar (Edgar Kennedy) decides the 4th of July fireworks celebration in town is too much for his nerves, and he and his wife Sally (Sally Payne) and her brother (Jack Rice) will take a nice drive out into the countryside and have a nice, peaceful picnic. His first mistake is inviting the sons of his neighbor (Charlie Hall) to go with them, and his second is picking an Army artillery firing range as the location of the picnic. Betty Grable, despite reports to the contrary from some vastly-uninformed sources, is nowhere to be seen in this short...mainly, because she was top-billed above the title in 20th Century-Fox musicals in 1941, and wasn t moonlighting in bits in RKO short subjects that year, or any that followed.
