When he arrives, the Bonner family home is being bulldozed by his younger brother Curly, an entrepreneur and realestate developer, in order to build ranch homes.Juniors womanizing, goodfornothing father, Ace, and downtoearth, longsuffering Elvira, are estranged. Note both Preston and Lupino were born in 1918, making them just twelve years older than McQueen. Ace dreams of emigrating to Australia to rear sheep and mine gold, but he fails to obtain financing from Junior, who is broke, and refuses to ask Curly for it. ........
