Cartoon Synopsis:

Bob's brother Peter is a successful chef who has a cooking show producing in India. Peter and his producer wife Rosie invite Bob and Margaret over for a lavish farewell dinner. Over cognac and cigars Bob's brother explains that in the event of anything awful happening in India his will leaves Bob and Margaret a large sum of money, the house, the jag and the jeep... during the course of a very drunken evening, something is mentioned about looking after the children as well. Bob and Margaret are a bit hazy about how long Peter's trip is, but when the children arrive and issue their Uncle and Aunt with a list of their needs including addresses of schools, doctors and shoe sizes, it finally sinks in- the children are there for an extended visit. Charlotte and Gerald are difficult and Bob takes to praying for his brother's safe return from India. Watching Peter's first live broadcast, they are distraught to see him collapse on air. Fearing the most dreadful tropical disease, Bob and Margaret fear that they have suddenly become parents to two precocious children and are desperate to find out what has happened.

All ends well as Peter's illness turns out to be food poisoning. They return home and take the children back and out of Bob and Margaret's hair.
