- While dining at Monk's Cafe, Laney tells Jerry and George that she's suffering from an allergic reaction to her boyfriend Robert's cats. He wont even consider going away for the weekend because of the cats. Jerry contemplates asking his girlfriend Vanessa to go away on a holiday together. George advises against that as Jerry has been going out with her for only a month, and he is not yet ready to spend 72 continuous hours with her. George reads the business section of the newspaper, where he learns that a stock to which a friend of a friend of his-Simon's friend Wilkinson-had tipped him off had gone up. Wilkinson is supposed to have made a fortune in the stock market. He has a big thing going on with some sort of a merger and it is real hush hush. The company is Centrax who has a new way of televising Opera. George decides to invest $5000 in the stock and persuades Jerry to invest $2,500.
Jerry is in a grocery store with Vanessa, after they visited the cinema. He manages to persuade Vanessa to go away with him to a bed-and-breakfast in Vermont. He says that this is a great way to accelerate their relationship. Meanwhile, he reads the newspaper in hope that his stock has gone up, but it's in fact fallen in value. The next day, Kramer tells Jerry that his stock has fallen again. Jerry calls George to get advice from Wilkinson (Benjamin Lum), who gave the stock tip in the first place, but no one can find him. Wilkinson has not been to his home or office in 3 days. George rings him back and tells Jerry that Wilkinson is in the hospital. While visiting the dry cleaner, Jerry tells George that he wants to sell his stock, but George insists that the tip is good and they should keep the stock. Eventually, George says he'll go and visit Wilkinson to find out what they should do, despite the fact that George doesn't know him personally.
At Jerry's apartment, Laney says that the only way that she can get rid of Robert's cats is if they should have some form of "accident" and offers Jerry the job, but he refuses. Kramer tells Jerry that his stock has fallen yet again. Jerry is down a total of $1500 by this point. George then returns from visiting Wilkinson but has no info because he was kicked out of the hospital when Wilkinson saw him. Jerry decides to sell his shares, while George decides to "go down with the ship". Jerry takes Vanessa to Vermont, but rainy weather keeps them stuck inside the bed-and-breakfast. He regrets going with her because boredom causes them to argue. Jerry reads the business section of the newspaper to see what happened to the stock since he sold it. The stock has risen dramatically (Jerry is out $4000 due to the stock rise). Vanessa then claims that Jerry only took her to a cheap place in Vermont because he lost so much money. Back in New York, George is celebrating the rising price of his stock, which has increased by $8,000. Laney says that she gave Robert an ultimatum, and he chose the cats. George then tells Jerry and Laney that Wilkinson has another stock tip involving some sort of "robot butcher."
