Plot summary
Fred, the Farbers' neighbor, arrives at the lake house with two young men, Paul and Peter, who have come to help put the family's boat in the water; Fred behaves oddly. Peter later knocks to borrow eggs, drops them, and asks for more, and Lucky, the family's dog, jumps on him and breaks the second batch. Paul presses Ann to try one of his golf clubs in the yard, and Peter asks for a third batch of eggs. George arrives home and tries to push the pair out, and when he slaps Paul, Peter strikes George's leg with a golf club. The two men then hold the Farbers captive.
