In this one Joe Higgins buys his wife Lil an expensive ring for their 25th wedding anniversary on the installment plan, and loses his job at the candy factory owned by Mr. Ellis on the same day; Ellis' son Bill also announces his intention to marry the Higgins' daughter Jean, over the protests of Ellis and his snooty wife. Joe loses the ring and his dumb son Sidney thinks it is in a package of a new nickel candy bar, and offers a reward for its return. The sales of the candy skyrocket. Elsewhere, Grandpa, concerned over the family's financial affairs, decides to marry rich widow Jones, who has been pursuing him for years. Written by Les Adams See less
