The premise
Here’s the bit.
Michael wants to impress his girlfriend’s parents, but disappears just before she can introduce him. He calls out from hiding, challenging the visitors to find him. Her father, Mr. Charles, eagerly takes up the game while the two women watch his search grow more frantic. Walls, furniture and a pie trap become part of the pursuit. When Michael finally emerges, he is stripped to his underwear and covered in oil. Rather than object, Mr. Charles admires him and welcomes him to the family.
