When an outing is cancelled because of rain, Old Tom decides to invent a device that can change the weather. Adapting a TV remote control, he almost succeeds. At first, he creates an indoor snow storm. Then, he makes an electrical storm. When Lavinia gets hit by a lightning bolt, Angela asks Old Tom to stop his experiments. However, she tries to turn on the TV with the remote and accidentally starts a mini-tornado, which lifts the house off the ground into the storm clouds. Old Tom has a brain wave and switches on all the vacuum cleaners, which suck up the clouds to create a sunny day. Success at last!
