The show centers around Stanley's frustration with his lazy, mooching brother-in-law, Arthur, who refuses to get a job, dresses like a slob (usually unshaven and wearing a bathrobe), is constantly smoking and eats like a horse. Stanley works at the lost-and-found department of the city bus company, supporting the entire family. The program can currently be seen in syndication on Antenna TV.
