For the past three years Sapphire has been using a piggy bank to save for a second honeymoon with George in Niagara Falls, and for the past three years George has gradually pilfered away all her savings, replacing the stolen loot with lead washers. With just three days left until the piggy bank is to be broken open, the Kingfish scrambles to replace the dough.

The Eyeglasses
Andy winds up in traffic court after going though a red traffic signal while he was asleep. The judge finds out his driver's license is dated from 1946 and that Andy failed the eye exam. He said Andy can't drive again until he gets eyeglasses. Of course the Kingfish decides to use this situation to further his own ends.

The Boarder
Sapphire rents a room to an obnoxious boarder. In an attempt to get him to leave Kingfish rents the same room to Andy and Calhoun such that they have to share the room.
The Engagement Ring
A woman thinks the lodge is a matrimonial agency. When Kingfish learns she is looking for a husband he sets her up with Andy. Though Andy agrees to marry her, he can't afford an engagement ring. Kingfish then offers to lend him Sapphire's.
Arabia
Kingfish concocts a plot to collect a $200 fee by getting Andy to become a welder in Arabia. His plan is to convince him that he is going on an elaborate vacation.
Kingfish Sells a Lot
Sapphire insists Kingfish sell a worthless piece of property immediately and Kingfish can only think of one person who'd be dumb enough to taker it off his hands - Andy Brown. Unfortunately for Kingfish, Andy has the last laugh.
The Racehorse
Kingfish tricks Andy again by selling him a broken down nag of a racehorse but with Amos's help, Andy gets the last laugh.

The Antique Shop
The Kingfish tries to sell a friend's antique shop so he can earn $250 commission. Naturally this involves his usual schemes and this episode has some classic malapropisms.
The Christmas Story
Andy, broke as usual, is desperate to earn money so he can give his god-daughter a talking doll for Christmas. He convinces a manager to hire him as a department store Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, Amos explains to Arbadella the true meaning of the "Lord's Prayer".
The Birthday Card
It's Kingfish's birthday and when Sapphire discovers that her husband has received a birthday card from a secret feminine admirer she goes into a jealous rage. Desperate to keep his wife happy, Kingfish searches for the card sender and, concluding it must have been sent by an old flame, calls on all his old female acquaintances, which just makes the disbelieving Sapphire all the angrier.
The Ballet Tickets
Kingfish finds a wallet. The owner tells the police his pocket was picked and that the wallet contained $245 and ballet tickets. The police show up at the ballet and arrest Sapphire and Mama whom Kingfish had given the tickets.
