Synopsis

Peter was thrilled to hear that Grandpa Jack was coming to live with the family until he learned that Grandpa Jack was going to take over his bedroom and he has to move into the dark, scary guest room on the third floor. Together with his two friends, Peter devises an outrageous plan of what he will do to Grandpa to force him out of his bedroom. Grandpa Jack sees this rival activity as a joke and continues to get even with Peter. Instead of becoming close, Peter and Grandpa have a cruel and rather hurtful relationship developing. Peter learns about the causes and effects of war and how often self sacrifices and discussion are important if harmony and love are to exist in a family.
