Description: A boy is in a class at school where the teacher is leading them in taking the right path. The boy and his friends pass a soda fountain store. The boy refused to have a sundae at the store because of his mean and strict father. When returning home boy, named Bobby, finds a lost dog. His father refuses to let him adopt the dog. Bobby goes to bed and cries. His father goes downstairs, trips on a rollerskate and bangs his head. This brings on a nightmare where he sees himself as an old sour who hasn't taken care of his teeth and gums. Gnomes come to life from the wallpaper and put him on trial for being a sour puss. His punishment is to go in a youth machine, a time machine which will make him younger so that he can see things from son's point of view. The youth machine turns him into a baby. He sees a sign for Bristol Myers Toothpaste and this sets him on a more positive course. He realises his son was right all along and he and his son walk hand in hand.
