Soon Mr. Szalinski arrives home. He goes to the attic and immediately becomes very frustrated with the machine that has only blown up fruit. He beats the machine into pieces then sweeps the floor
, accidentally throwing away the four kids. He takes the trash to the curb. The children find a tiny tear in the bag and escape but still have to cross the yard to get back to the house. There are many obstacles in between them and the house. There are sprinklers that threaten to drown them. There are bugs that want them for dinner. There are mowers that can suck them up and chop them in tiny pieces. Even if they make it past all of these obstacles, how do they get the attention of someone to help them? How can they be fixed if the machine is in pieces? Watch and find out.
