Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Slim Hoover, Mrs. Slim, and the five little Slims take a day’s outing at the beach. Mrs. Slim’s personal charms suffer in comparison with the exposed charms of Miss Magneto, and Slim strays from the family corral in pursuit of the beach beauty. Slim is no Adonis himself, and Miss Magneto and her girl chums put him through the paces which accentuate his physical angles. Mrs. Slim, worrying over Slim’s absence, unloads the five little Slims on Willie Pepper, the Beach Beau Brummel, and trails Slim. Willie has his troubles with the little Slims and Slim “gets his” when Mrs. Slim discovers him with Miss Magneto. Slim is not allowed by Mrs. Slim to change his clothes and is compelled to pilot the family “Tin Lizard” home through the night.
