In this one, Herb loans Roger money to buy a type writer. $100 dollars is due on the loan. Kay & Eve are afraid of a family war if the payment is not made.

Kay borrows $100 from Eve who borrows it from the emergency fund Herb keeps to pay Roger. While trying to prevent this war, they make up a story that Kay borrowed the money from her Christmas Club Account.

The story starts to unravel when Herb finds the money missing from the fund. As Eve will not explain what happened to the money except that she took it, Herb begins to suspect his wife is being black mailed.

Roger then finds out Kay doesn't have a Christmas Club account. The boys suspect Kay is blackmailing Eve.

A pretty lively episode where money is the root of all evil.

It's not that it is complex or a tongue twister, but I'd have to catch a breath after trying to say it. Roger has borrowed $100 from herb to buy a new typewriter and when the time comes to pay her back, Kay gives him money that she borrowed from Eve who took it out of Herb's hidden stash of cash just so there wouldn't be a fight between the families (OK, breathe!) There ends up being a fight because Herb believes that Roger took it, but Eve confesses, and she ends up out of breath.

Things get more bizarre when Herb and Roger begin to hypothesize why Eve took the money, and they become very melodramatic in their reasonings, beginning to think that Kay is blackmailing Eve. For a bizarre reason only known to the writers, Eve and Kay begin to dramatically plot their revenge, apology leading to an even more melodramatic, delightfully convoluted conclusion. This gives Herbert Rudley more of an opportunity to ham it up, and he really shows off his comic ability. Had this been in the hands of less professional actors, they would have been out of breath five minutes into the episode.
