Two familial units embark on a Sunday outing, utilizing a Ford Model T as their mode of transportation. However, their journey is fraught with challenges stemming from the unreliable nature of the vehicle. Laurel, Hardy, their respective spouses, and the cantankerous Uncle Edgar encounter a series of mishaps necessitating repeated exits and reentries into the automobile, punctuated by the refrain "goodbye."

Tensions escalate when a dispute with a neighbor escalates into a potential conflict involving thrown projectiles, prompting the intervention of the local clergyman to defuse the situation. Despite these setbacks, the families persist in their excursion, only to encounter further adversity in the form of an unexpectedly deep pothole, derailing their plans yet again.
