description: Carl Mix's comic strip immortalised his family as a loving group of wisecracking imps. When he dies, his estate is divided between four of his children - in reality a dysfunctional brood. The fifth, Tim, a struggling artist, is given three months to successfully draw the strip and inherit a gold mine. If he fails, he will get nothing.
