Grandpa Vanderhof and his wacky family, the Sycamores, have been happily living their zany lives in New York for many years. This family (and their friends) are a madcap group of eccentrics, marching to the beat of their own drum, with pride and joy. Their hobbies include collecting snakes, writing a myriad of plays that never get published, and taking ballet lessons. Things like stress, jobs, and paying taxes are for other people, not for them! But when practical young Alice Sycamore becomes engaged to her company's Vice President Tony Kirby, the Vanderhof/Sycamore clan must straighten up to meet the new in-laws. Disaster ensues when the Kirbys arrive at the wrong time and, despite the best laid plans, see Alice's family in all of its crazy glory. Will the two families learn to accept each other? Will love conquer all?

"Roshambo" by Brian Borowka
Some people take Rock-Paper-Scissors (aka Roshambo) very seriously. So seriously, they organize championship matches with national rankings. Lindsay is number two in the country and she's not happy losing her top ranking. She's not above throwing an illegal scipper. What will she do to Taylor, the number one player? Maybe Taylor's not that keen on playing anyway. Rock-Paper-Scissors isn't as fun as it used to be.

"The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon" by Don Zolidis
Two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, and other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil's Grandmother.
