Mr. and Mrs. Hartley devise a weekly job chart and assign their children chores. When the new regime goes into effect, sisters Nora and Sophie notice disparity between what's expected of the girls and what the boys are supposed to do, and they go on strike. This solidly middle-class family will remind many of the Quimbys.
