[1][2][3] Ira Skitch, prominent resident of Flat River, Missouri, has fallen victim to the Great Depression and the bank has foreclosed on his home.

With only a pittance settlement to show for it, Ira loads his wife, adult daughter Emily, three younger children, and six dogs into the beat-up family jalopy.

Ira has made friends with Sam Cohen, a Yiddish ex-New Yorker who had been ordered to retire for his health and now travels the USA in a luxury motor home.

When they arrive at the Lake Tahoe area that borders Nevada and California, Ira wins $3,000.00 in a legal casino by latching onto the coattails of a friendly high-roller, Cliff Merriweather.
