As George and family celebrate with an impromptu party, his son Johnnie (Bernard Fox) arrives home and drops a bombshell. It turns out the coupon is his and his workmate Sid Jarvis' (Harry Fowler). But when Sid's gold digging and wanton mother (Valerie White) finds out about the windfall she decides to lock her son up in order to keep him away from his share of the fortune.
