Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] because they are called "old fashioned" by their children, Mr. and Mrs. Whipple buy a car, plan a trip out West, and decide to jazz things up some themselves. Their daughter Wiletta accompanies them on the trip, leaving her sheik behind. Out West she meets Nat, who helps in preventing the two parents from being swindled in a deal for a gold mine. There follows a kidnapping, a holdup, and a chase down a mountainside to save Wiletta. At the end, all of them determine to give up modern jazz methods.
