Grossdorf’s comic painting spree ends with a rooftop crash

In a comical episode near a summer home, Geo Grossdorf attempts to paint his house with ready made paint. He climbs the roof on a rope, slips into a red paint flood, drags his wife into the scene, and both are rescued after comic misadventures. A city painter is later hired while Mrs. Grossdorf hopes for a cure.
