Synopsis[]
The follies of computers: Edith gets a small fortune in quarters from a prune company after she sends in a box top to get a 25-cent rebate and the company's computer makes an error. This thrills Archie but he is not as thrilled with computers when he is mistakenly declared dead by another computer.
Summary[]
Modern technology runs amok when a computer error enables Edith to collect a large sum of money for a single prune company promotional giveaway. Archie is delighted that Edith is the recipient of so much currency until another computer glitch declares that Archie is dead. The Bunkers' ensuing plunge into the world of bureaucracy and red tape is as hilariously frightening today as it was back in the pre-Personal Computer 1970s.
