- Uncle Tonoose arrives in New York determined to invest his life savings so he will be able to send his grand-nephew to college, and on to medical school. To keep him from investing with a man he met on the bus, Danny suggests he invest in the club. Charlie is not happy, and even less happy when Uncle Tonoose changes the menu, the dancers, and starts driving customers away.—A. Farley
- Uncle Tonoose shows up with his life savings, $700, to invest to make money to help his grand-nephew to go to medical school. Danny tries to convince Charley to let Uncle Tonoose invest his money in the nightclub. After Danny gives Charley a sad story Charley agrees. Uncle Tonoose is reluctant at first but Danny convinces him to invest in the nightclub. Uncle Tonoose tells Charley if he is going to invest his life savings in the nightclub he is going to stick around and help him run it also, much to Charley's dismay.
As Charley and Marcel the chef are deciding the menu Uncle Tonoose comes in and gives them his menu which doesn't please Marcel. As Danny is rehearsing with the dancers, Uncle Tonoose comes in and says no one wants to see the skinny dancers and brings in three large dancers that nearly crush Charely when he tries to squeeze through them.
Charley, Linda and Danny discuss what to do about Uncle Tonoose. Charley wants to fire him but Danny afraid to hurt his feelings decides to tell Uncle Tonoose he has doubled his money and pay him the amount out of his own pocket. When Danny tells him he has doubled his money and can now return home Uncle Tonoose says he'll stay, if he is that good at running a night club he will stay and get enough money to put the whole family though college.
The next day while Charley and Marcel are lamenting all the extra expenses that are piling up Uncle Tonoose enters and tells everyone he is heading home to Toledo as soon as his grand-nephew gets into medical school. Every one begins to celebrate until Uncle Tonoose lets them know his grand-nephew is still in Kindergarten.
