What it’s about. The Captain, after much wrestling with his alarm clock, finally wakes up to discover there's no buttons (for suspenders) on his ding-busted pants. He chews out Mama; she tells him if he doesn't like the housekeeping, he can do it himself, and storms out. What follows is pretty much the usual bunch of man-keeping-house jokes: a voracious vacuum, an overflowing sink, crashing dishes, and a dozen crises at once. And still no buttons on the pants.
Who’s in it. Blue Monday stars Billy Bletcher as Captain (voice) (uncredited) and Martha Wentworth as Mama (voice) (uncredited).
