Plot
Blondie gives birth to a baby daughter, Cookie, at the hospital. Dagwood is clumsy at doing housework in her absence. He is then sent to Chicago to attend an architects convention, where he meets an eccentric but impoverished hotel-room neighbor. The man claims to be a playwright and mooches Dagwood's meal while writing a speech, which Dagwood then delivers at the convention. Unfortunately, the speech urges homeowners to design their own homes rather than hire architects. The man follows Dagwood home and takes over the running of their household, including hiring a maid, and browbeating Mr. Dithers into giving Dagwood a raise. Blondie finally demands that he leave.[1]
