Plot

Mary Ann and Wheezer are the children of a widowed inventor who are forced to endure the cruelties of their stepmother (Lyle Tayo) and stepsister. The kids get even by rigging a few clever contraptions of their own. In the end the father sells a patent worth millions and thereby leaves the stepmother and stepdaughter.
