After
research shows them that they've failed in their mission of blending
in as a normal, average American family, the Solomons strive to
correct the problem by moving into a bland, beige apartment, dressing
less oddly, and eschewing all that has made them stand out. Sally
joins the tenants' association and becomes obsessed with making
everyone in the complex adhere to the strict guidelines imposed
by the group. When Dick meets a visiting professor whom Mary finds
charming because of his eccentricity, Dick realizes he has erred
in abandoning his individuality. He, Tommy, and Harry conspire to
get Sally to hoist herself on the petard of her own narrow-mindedness,
getting them all evicted so they can return to their beloved attic
apartment.
