- Summary:
- Wrangling partners Cohen and Kelly have owned a knit goods/bathing suit factory for years, which is now in the doldrums; their children have ideas to improve sales, and head down to Atlantic City to host a beauty pageant with a prize of $10,000, the last of the company's funds. Both sets of parents make wrong assumptions and head down to Atlantic City after the young people. Every kind of sight gag and extended misunderstanding follows. One of a series of comedies made about the Cohens and Kellys.
