- And who'll say $5.00?

$5 for this excellent pair
of field glasses, practically

brand now.

Remember this is for charity.

$5, $5 to the man in the grey
hat, going once, going twice,

sold.

And now, I have
something very nice

donated by a wonderful lady for
the benefit of our children's

orphanage.

12, one dozen, 12--

- Well, hi, Mr. Wilson.

AUCTIONEER (OFFSCREEN):
Take my word for it.

- Oh, hello, Dennis.

What are you doing here?

- I went to the meat
market for Mom.

AUCTIONEER (OFFSCREEN):
Do I hear $6?

- What are we
watching, Mr. Wilson?

AUCTIONEER (OFFSCREEN): $6.

- I'm watching an auction.

AUCTIONEER (OFFSCREEN):
No takers at $6?

- Oh.

I'd rather watch television.

You can see better.

You want to lift me up
so i can help you watch?

- No, can't you see I'm
loaded down with groceries?

- Do you want me to
help you carry some?

- I should say not.

Don't your remember what
happened the last time?

- Oh, eggs again?

- Yes.

- Do I hear $3.50?

- I won't drop them this time.

- No, Dennis.

- Sold to the man holding
up the paper bag.

- Hey, you made a good buy
on them table napkins.

- What's that?

- Yeah, them-- them table
napkins you bid in for $3.50.

I say you made a good buy.

- I didn't make a bid.
- Well, sure.

You had your hand up.

Oh-- oh, no.

Oh, oh, Mr.--

[stuttering]

- Mr. Auctioneer?

- Yes, sir?

- There's a mistake.

I didn't mean to put in a bid.

- Please, folks,
don't raise your hand

unless you're making a bid.

And then, for goodness sakes,
go on with your bargain,

even if you have to put out
the princely sum of $3.50

for the orphans
of this community.

[theme music]

- And now, something for
you collectors, especially

those of you who remember
the good old days,

the roaring '20s.

I have here a genuine 1927
10-tube superheterodyne

radio set.

- Oh, Mr. Wilson,
I'm so sorry you

didn't take those table napkins.

- Well, you see, Mrs.
Schooner, it was a mistake.

- They were donated
to us by Mrs. Scott.

And I know she would
just have loved

to see them go to Mrs. Wilson.

- Yeah, well--well, you see, I
didn't mean to raise my hat.

- Mr. Mooney, our auctioneer,
was so disappointed.

AUCTIONEER (OFFSCREEN): $4.00--

- He's giving his time
free, and he works so hard.

- Well, if you'd
just let me explain.

Now you see, I was trying
to keep my eggs from him.

He wanted to carry them for me.

- That's right, Mrs. Schooner,
it wasn't his fault.

I tried to take
his eggs like this.

- Dennis, no!

- Sold to the man
holding up the bag.

- And you'd better take
it this time, Buster.

- Wha?

- You just bought a
junky, old radio $4.50.

[eggs cracking]
Great Scott!

- Is it all right?

- Well, you're
doing better, dear.

You're only $20 off this month.

- Hi, ma.

Hi, dad.

Look what I have.

- Oh, where on earth
did you get that?

- Mr. Wilson gave it to me.

- Well, I should think he would.

Now who do we give it to?

- But it's a super
radio set, Mom.

Can I keep it?

- My, it's an old
superheterodyne.

- Oh, what a monstrosity.

- My dad used to have one of
these remarkable old sets.

Boy, did it get distance.

- Can I keep it?

- Well, I--

- Dennis, we have a nice
modern radio in the kitchen.

And there's another
pretty one upstairs.

- Your Mom's right, son.

It probably won't play anyway.

- Sure it'll play, Dad.

The man wouldn't sell Mr. Wilson
something that wouldn't play.

- Mr. Wilson bought it?

I-- I thought he found it
in his attic or some place.

- The man at the auction
sold it to Mr. Wilson.

And he gave it to me.

Can I keep it?

- Well, Dennis, I--
- Please?

- Well, what do you say, honey?

I don't think it
can do any harm.

- OK.

But let's put it out
on the patio that way

it'll be handy for the junk
man when he gets tired of it.

- Gee, thanks, dad.

Thanks, mom.

- All right.

- I'll take it out to the
patio and plug it in for you.

- Honey, dinner's about ready.

Would you call Dennis?

- OK.

- Hey, the radio works.

I got it to work.

- You did?

- I sure did, boy, right
after I took those bills out

of the inside.

- Bills?

- Money bills-- the insides are
just full of them, like this.

- That's a $20.

- Oh, I've got to see this.

[hollering]

- Henry, look at this!

- $5s, $10s--

- $20s.

Well, the--there's
hundreds of dollars here.

- Dennis, you're rich.

- I am?

Jeepers!

Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wilson!

Come see what I
found in my radio!

- Now, why would I care
what he found in his radio?

- I never thought you'd
get here, Mr Wilson.

I called, and
called, and called.

- Well, you could've
mentioned money

in the first place, Dennis.

- There's $1,650.

- And in this old
radio I bid for.

Well, it's like I
always say, Martha.

It pays to give to charity.

- Did you say that, George?

- Why, there's enough here
for that electrical golf

cart plus a set of match clubs.

Oh, and more.

- Or enough for the start
of a college education

fund for someone I know.

- You did give the set
to Dennis, remember?

- I did?

- Yes, you said he's
the legal owner now

and that he couldn't
give it back to you.

So don't you have something
to say to Alice and Henry?

- Yes, I'm sorry.

O-Oh, I mean I'm sorry I got
carried away thinking about

that new electric golf
cart I saw this morning.

No, no, the set
belongs to Dennis.

I gave it to him.

It's his without any strings.

- I've been thinking
about that, Mr. Wilson.

It's true.

You did give the set
to Dennis, but you

bought it in the first place.

- Uh, well yes, that's right.

- So I think it ought
to be a 50/50 split.

- I should say so.

- Oh, Alice, you and Henry
are such good neighbors.

- Well, you certainly are!

Well, shall we split the melon?

- There's no time
like the present.

[mr. wilson chuckling]

- But Dad, aren't we
going to find the owner

and give it back for a reward?

- Oops.

- Mrs. Morrison says
you always return

money and stuff if you find it.

- Mrs. Morrison?

- Well, that's his
school teacher.

- Oh, Dennis, you're right.

What in the world
were we thinking of?

Of course we have
to find the owner.

- Well, that's for
your half, Dennis.

Mr. Wilson can spend his or
do whatever he wants with it.

- Well, there's this
electric golf cart on sale.

It's a steal for $800.

- No sir, Dad.

Mr. Wilson's my honest friend.

He wouldn't spend it.

[mr. wilson chuckling]

- Yes, thank you, Dennis.

It's all right, Mitchell.

I don't think we'll ever
find the owner, anyway.

Why, from the looks
of that old set,

the money was
probably left there

by some old miser who's
dead and buried by now.

- Dennis, tonight we'll write
out an ad for the newspaper.

- Boy, I sure hope
we get a big reward.

- You're sure this is the
way you want it, Mr. Wilson?

- Oh, yes, Mitchell.

I mustn't set a bad
example for Dennis.

And as I say, I doubt that
we'll find the owner anyway.

As a matter of fact, I
feel so sure about it

that I'm going back
downtown and snap up

the bargain on that golf cart.

[mr. wilson chuckling]

- No more tramping up and
down those fairways for me.

No sir.

[mr. wilson chuckling]

- I'm sorry I'm late, Mr. Wilson.

I found I could make an
early call on a customer

before going to the office.

- Oh well.

That's all right, Mitchell.

- Here's the ad that
Alice and Dennis drew up.

- Oh, fine.

Oh, say, by the way, did you
see my new electrical golf

car this morning?

- No, I didn't.

- Well, I rode it past
your house twice.

I thought you
might have seen it.

- Sorry.

- Well, anyway, it's a beauty.
[mr. wilson chuckling]

- Will I be able to speed
down those fairways now!

A-- oh, Mitchell, you're
saying too much here.

- You know, I think
you're right, Mr. Wilson.

- Oh.

- It's the first
time I've read this.

- Sure.

You know, the problem
with returning

found money is to
make absolutely sure

that only the real
owner gets it.

Why, with this description
you'd have every fortune hunter

in the country
hammering at your door.

- I agree.

- But you wouldn't
want that, would ya?

- No.
- No.

Now, listen to this first part.

"Found $1,650 in old paper
currency consisting of 5, 10s,

and 20s," or just cut
that out and say money.

Money.

Listen to this next part.

"Stuffed in the back of a
superheterodyne 1927 radio

set with mahogany cabinet."

[mitchell chuckling]

- I'm sorry about
that, Mr. Wilson.

Why, with this ad, anyone
could claim the money,

we'd have to give it to them.

- Why, of course.

Let's just cut this
down to size, shall we?

- Oh, excuse me, is
Mr. Krinkie around?

- He went down to the City Hall.

Could I help you?

- Oh, yes, we'd like
to place an ad.

Could it get in the
afternoon paper?

- Yes, sir.
- Good.

- It looks like
it's going to rain.

- Huh, rain?

Well, by golly, it does.

Say, I intended to
play some golf today.

Instead, I better go home
and get my patio furniture

under cover.

- That'll be $2.30, sir.

- Oh.

- I'll split it
with you, Mitchell.

- Hi, Mr. Krinkie.

- Hello, Dennis, Tommy.

- You in there getting
a story for your paper?

- Yes, my reporter's
on a vacation.

- He is?

Could I have a job
while he's away?

- Oh, I'm afraid not, Dennis.

- But when I was
a little kid, you

said you might let me
report for you someday.

Now I've got a report
card and everything.

- I know you're learning
to write and spell,

Dennis, but I need someone
who is a little bit more

experienced who has a nose
for news, as the saying goes.

- That's me.

I can smell real good.

- That's not exactly
what I meant.

Anyway, as I told
you before, I'll

always print a good
story if you bring it in.

- If I told you I found
$1,650 in an old radio set,

would that be a story?

- Why, yes Dennis, if
it were a true story.

- This really happened.

- Really?

Honest engine?

- Yeah.

Both really and honest engine.

- Well, that's sounds like
a good news item, Dennis.

Tell me about it.

[laughing]

- The way I got it to work was
to tap it three times right here

and hook these two
wires together.

- Boy, it sure plays
good for so old.

- That's because my Dad
worked on it last night

and put in some new tubes.

- He said I might get
some station far off.

ALICE (OFFSCREEN): Dennis,
go straighten up your room.

- OK, Mom.

Come on, Tommy.

MALE SPEAKER (ON RADIO):
Clearing skies and sunshine,

a forecast for [inaudible].

Yes, our local weatherman
has a surprise for us.

Sunshine.

Sunshine within the next
hour and throughout the rest

of the day.

Therefore, if you're planning
a hunt, a spot of fishing,

boating, or a day of
golf, you can go out

with the weatherman's
assurance of glorious sunshine.

Thus, it appears
that hunters should

have good shooting
in the interior,

a rapidly diminishing
low pressure area

should clear things up.

This concludes our summary of
local sports news and weather

for Kenya Colony, East Africa.

Now for the
translation in Swahili.

[speaking swahili]
- Who are you calling?

- Uh, Mr. Moorhead.

- The President of the bank?

- Uh, yes.

It's his afternoon
to play hookie,

so I've inviting him to
play golf in my new cart.

- It was going to pour.

- Oh no, dear.

We'll have sunshine
within an hour.

And then it'll be fine
for the rest of the day.

I just heard it over the radio.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Moorhead,
but the weatherman distinctly

promised sunshine.

- Now if someone lost some
money in a radio set,

and he reads this, he'll
know whether it's his or not.

- Yeah, and if it
isn't his, he won't

to have to bother
in coming over.

- And if it is his, he'll say
boy, they found my money.

I've gotta go right over
and give Dennis a reward.

Boy, I'm sure glad
it stopped raining.

- It sure tells a lot more
than this dinky little ad here

in the back.

- Yeah, somebody took out all
the words me and Mom put down.

Boy, I bet my Dad
and Mr. Wilson are

going to be mighty
mad when they see it.

- Thanks for the eggs, Alice.

I'd planned to go to the
store this afternoon,

but I got bogged down with
other things, that is.

- You're welcome.

- Oh, by the way, I
brought over my newspaper.

- Oh good.

We haven't seen ours yet.

Dennis must have it.

- Ah, let's look for our ad, huh?

Eh.

Oh, yeah, there
it is right there.

- Is that all it says?

- Well, honey, when we got
down to the newspaper office

we cut out a little
of the description.

As it was, we would have
had half the fortune hunters

in the country
pounding on our doors.

[doorbell rings]
DENNIS (OFFSCREEN): I'll get it.

- OK.

- Oh, yes.

You see, Alice, the
burden about finding money

is that you have to be
so careful and cagey not

to give it to some crook
who comes claiming.

Why, the less you
describe it, the better.

- Well, I just hope
the real owner

can even recognize it from that.

- Oh, we did the smart
thing all right, Alice.

Now, from the little
information we've

given, we'll know the
real owner the minute

he describes the money in the
set, if the owner's alive,

which I doubt.
[alice sighs]

- You may be right.

- It's too bad you didn't get to
use your new golf cart today.

- Oh, I did.

- Really?

In all that rain?

- You know, Mitchell,
there are two things badly

needed in this community, new
weatherman and harder fairways.

- Where's the money, Mom?

- Why?

- Because the man that lost
it has come here to get it.

- What?

- Now, uh, Mr. Brown,
you understand

that I'll have to ask
you some questions?

- Well, it's my money
and my radio all right.

- What year model?

- 1927.

- That was in the ad.

Uh, just what did we
find in the radio?

- Money.

- That fact was also in the ad.

- Describe the money.

- Paper money.

- Well, you wouldn't
hide silver in a radio.

So the only assumption you could
make is that it's paper money.

Oh, no.

I'm afraid if you can't tell
us more than that, we'll

have to assume it was some
other radio that you lost.

Sorry.

- $1,650, that's what it is.

There's 50 fives, 50
tens, and 20 twenties.

[eggs cracking]

- Great Scott!

- And you found it in
the back of a Saturn

superheterodyne 10-tube set.

- Take it, take it.

- It's his, all right.

- Yes.

- Shouldn't we ask
about a reward?

- Well, you seem to be the
true owner, Mr. Brown.

- And I'll tell you
something else.

It was a table model,
mahogany cabinet.

- That it is.

That it is.

- We're sure glad we could
find you, Mr. Brown.

Can I ask you something?

- Not now, Dennis.

- I was just going to ask about
those initials on the back.

- Oh, all right, Dennis.

- Now, uh, Mr. Brown,
about the reward--

- How about 5%?

- Well, shouldn't we say 10%?

- OK, I'll be a sport, 10%.

- I'll go get the money.

- Mr. Brown, did you like
my picture in the paper?

- What picture?

- My picture in tonight's
paper that Mr. Krinkie

put in telling all
about the money.

- What's this?

- I guess I'm a celebrity, huh?

- Here's your money.

- Just a minute!
- Well, yes.

Let's not be hasty, Mitchell.

Dennis just gave all the
facts to the newspaper.

- And Mr. Brown hasn't
told us one thing

that isn't in the article.

- Dennis, uh, what were you
saying about some initials?

- They're on the back of the set.

There's three of
them, and they say--

- Oh, don't tell him.

I'm sorry, Mr. Brown.

You may be the
true owner, but you

will have to give
us the initials

on the back of the set.

- Initials?

Well, they must have
been scratched on

after I lost the set.

- But it isn't scratched on.

It's on a little metal board.

- A metal plate.

- Is that what you call them?

- What year did you say you
lost the radio, Mr. Brown?

- Well, I didn't
say, but it must've

been around 1929 or 1930.

- That's very strange.

There's a bill here issued 1935.

How do you account for that?

- Well, uh--

[mr. wilson chuckling]

- Well, I guess that just about
does it, doesn't it, Mr. Brown?

- I guess it does.

I guess I must've been mistaken.

- It must've been
some other 1927 radio

that you lost with
$1,650, huh, Mr. Brown?

- That's it, kid.

That's it.

Say, could I speak
to you for a minute?

- Hm?

- Could you spare $0.50
for a cup of coffee?

- Oh, for Pete's sake, here.

- Thank you.

- Well, you certainly
saved the day, boy.

- I did?

- You certainly did,
even though you

did give the fortune
hunters all the facts.

- I've got to go back
and see Tommy, OK?

- OK, dear.

- Dennis, just where are
those initials, huh?

- Right here.

- Oh, yes.

- Here are your eggs, Mr. Wilson.

- Oh.

Ah yes, coming Mitchell.

Thank you.

Oh, I'll really be careful
with them this time.

Now, when the next
fortune hunter shows up,

I suggest that you ask right
off about the initials.

No sense wasting time.

- You're absolutely right.

[doorbell rings]

- Well, what have we here?

- I've come about the ad.

- How about you two?

The ad also?

- Well, gentlemen,
there was a mistake

and full details were
printed in the paper.

So there's no point in
having you describe the find.

However, there's one important
clue, a special identification

on the back of the set.

Now, can any one of
you tell me what it is?

Some initials.

Well, if you can't
give them to us

you might just as
well run along.

- Well, I um--

- You two?

OK, sorry.

This only confirms what I've
said all along, Mitchell.

The real owner
will never show up.

Oh, it's clearing up nicely.

Should be a fine day
for golf tomorrow.

- Yeah, it should be.

Well, thanks for
everything, Mr. Wilson.

- Oh, not at all, Mitchell.

- Is this 627 Elm?

- Yes.

- Well, I came about the ad.

Are you the person
that found the radio?

- Well--

- You didn't come to claim
it yourself, I hope.

Because if you did--

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

The little boy and I
found the radio set.

- Well, let me see it,
make sure it's mine.

- Oh, well, that
won't be necessary.

Now, you just tell me if there's
some special identification

on the back.

Otherwise, you might just
as well be on your way.

- There was a little metal plate
with mother's initials on it.

Well, she marked all
over furniture that way.

Her initials are J-M-D.

[eggs cracking]

- Great Scott!

Alice!
Mitchell!

- Well, uh, how did the bills
get in there in the first place?

- Well, before she died,
mother started hiding money.

Well, I thought
I'd found it all.

It never occurred to
me to look in a radio.

- Well, here it is,
Miss Douglas, $1,650.

I guess you can use it?

- Oh, yes.

Charity, you know?

- You aren't going to keep it?

- Oh, no.

No, I help maintain a
home for lonesome animals,

and any extra money
I get goes for that.

This goes into that new
wing we're building.

- Do we get a reward?

- Dennis!

- Sure ya do, sonny.

Now, if I get this straight,
you gave the radio to Dennis?

- Eh, yes.

Then that makes him
the legal owner.

Here's $100 to start
a college education

fund for that smart boy.

- Well, thank you, Mrs. Douglas.

- That's very generous of you.

- As for Mr. Wilson--

- Yes?

- and in return
for your efforts--

- Yes?

- I'm, uh, giving the remainder--
let's see, that's $1,550--

- Yes?

- into that new wing, which I'm
going to dedicate in your name.

Mr. Wilson Wing for
lonesome animals.

Well, goodbye all,
and thank you.

Aren't you going
to take your radio?

- No, sonny, you keep it.

- Are you sure you wouldn't
like to take it back

for sentimental
reasons, or something?

- No, goodbye all.

- She didn't even give me
enough to pay for the ad.

- I'm sorry about
this, Mr. Wilson.

- Doh, if I'd only
let Dennis hold

my eggs in the first place.

- It isn't fair.

After all, you've laid
out $800 for a golf cart,

gone to a lot of
trouble, besides.

Why don't you take
half of Dennis' money?

- Oh, no, no, Mitchell.

I wouldn't think of it.

- Truthfully, I'm glad
I have my own cart.

Probably would've bought
one anyway, sooner or later.

And you know, I
did get a reward.

Someday Dennis will leave
here and go off to college.

MR. WILSON: [singing]
I dream of Jeanie

with the light brown hair.

MALE SPEAKER (ON

from the local sports feed.

And I might add irritating
news for golfers.

Caddies on our local golf course
went on strike this morning

for double play as a lion had
been seen on the 14th fairway.

- Dennis, is that you
playing the radio?

- Yes, Mr. Wilson.

- Well, get in the house.

There's a lion lose in the city.

- Is it dangerous?

- Very dangerous.

Get in the house!

- OK, Mr. Wilson.

- And this concludes our
local news and weather

from Kenya Colony, East Africa.

- What in the world are
you doing with that?

I thought you were
going to play golf.

- I am.

There's a lion
lose on the course.

But I'm going to play golf
today, lions or no lions!
