Summary

Thirteen-frame comic strip. Buster Brown sees a man selling glue, which seems like a bargain to him. He carries home a jar and pours some on the floor. His mother sees him, chases him, and finds herself stuck fast in the glue. Soon the whole household finds themselves standing in glue. They see boots, furniture and the family cat stuck to the walls. Buster Brown receives a spanking when his mother finally catches him.
