Synopsis

He had come for the Renkins' famed blueberries, but soon discovered something far more peculiar: Mrs. Renkins was preparing a hot air balloon. She offered rides to George and the Man, promising gentle ascents and descents. Bill arrived then, and in a moment of clumsy enthusiasm, he and George inadvertently released the tether. Suddenly, they were airborne, soaring across the country with no means of control or descent.
