Rob (Dick Van Dyke) has purchased a brand-new car, and is so paranoid over the notion of incurring the tiniest of scratches that he bans Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) from using the vehicle. Unfortunately, Laura is forced to drive the car to take Ritchie to school -- and just as unfortunately, when she comes home she finds that the car has not only been scratched, but the scratch runs the entire length of the chassis! Nervously, she prepares to tell Rob the bad news, only to be cowed into silence when her husband threatens to sue whoever defaced his precious auto.
