Riley's a dreamer with all sorts of off beat inventions and his latest one is a double gummed envelope that can be used twice used: once for sending and then turned inside out for replying. At home Riley is not well liked. His daughter is going to run away and marry a motorcyclist who turns out to be already married, and she can no longer support her dad in his unemployed habits. But this matters little to Riley, for he has this envelope deal, and also an indoor watering device for flowers. Trouble is, all his devices fall through including the indoor water when it is discovered you can't turn it off. And his dreams continue to burst in his face.
