Father confronts and hits his child over a missing item. He accuses the child of stealing, searches and blames the child's mother while defending a "terrible woman" who he says bullies them. The child insists he didn't steal and pleads as the father grows angrier, calls him disobedient and threatens punishment. He then reveals he took their mother's wind chime to wake her and accuses the terrible woman of bullying Mom, accusing the father of no longer loving them. The father demands an explanation and prepares to punish, leaving the plea unresolved.
