Maw and Paw

One morning at breakfast, Milford gets a phone call from a radio game show. He answers a question from the host and wins a new super-deluxe automobile for the family. The car is delivered to the house, and everyone is admiring the car. The problem is that no one in the family knows how to drive it (Maw thinks that the antenna is a "new-fangled clothesline"). Eventually, Milford goes for a joyride around the farm, chasing most of the residents, before finally crashing into a tree, reducing the vehicle to the size of a Model T. It is now the right size for the family! The joy is short-lived, however, as the "Model T" goes into a mudhole and sinks into the horizon.

Milford the pig gets the mail and informs Paw that the family has won a brand new house after Maw and Paw have accumulated a million boxtops. Their joy turns to frustration when they learn the catch: the house is prefabricated, and they must put the entire house together themselves. With the family's intelligence (especially Paw's competence), this isn't an easy task. Examples: Paw is shrouded in measuring tape when Milford lets go too suddenly. When Maw carries a board, it starts vibrating to the point where it carries her into the air, dropping her into the washing machine (Paw thinks that he's watching Maw on TV). Finally, the house is finished, and the family moves inside. Unfortunately, Paw steps on a loose floorboard, causing the house to disassemble into a pile of rubble.

While Maw and Paw celebrate the birthday of their pet pig Milford, the 39 Boomer Brothers pignap the little guy for their pig roast. Milford's abducted as he blows out the candles on his cake. Maw and Paw try to save Milford, but it's more a result of the Boomer Brothers' incompetence that the little pig is able to return home to his family after a fast chase ensues.

Paw has been out all night with his friends. When he gets home, he finds that he's locked out of the house, having lost his key to the front door. Fearful of incurring Maw's wrath, he wakes up Milford to try and find a means of getting into the house quietly. After several tries, Paw finally gets in via the back door... only to find that his wife is not home. Maw has also come home from a night out with her friends. When she finds her husband at the back door of the house and not in bed, she grabs him and hauls him into the house, where all hell breaks loose.
