A Partridge Up a Pear Tree

Keith has a new, albeit junk, car. He keeps putting money into restoring the car and make car payments. Out of money, Keith turns to Danny for help. Danny puts Keith on a tight budget so he can have money for the car and to go to the prom. Shirley suggests that Keith get a job to make extra money. He first becomes a trainee to a plumber, but can't quite get the knack of plumbing. Then he tries to learn to become a salesman of a vegetable slicer, but ends up buying the slicer for his mother. His attempt at a newspaper route ends disastrously when he sees a beautiful girl walk by.

Keith ist am Ende: Er wird von den offenen Raten und den Reparaturkosten seines alten Autos in den finanziellen Ruin getrieben. Da erklärt sich Danny zu seinem Finanzberater.
