"The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," starring

the entire Nelson family.

Here's Ozzie, here's Harriet, here's David, and here's Ricky.

Here they are, America's favorite family, the Nelsons.

Hi, fellas.

Hi, Mr. Nelson.

Oh, just having a little meeting here?

Yeah.

Were we making too much noise?

No, no, no, that's OK.

What's on the agenda?

Where?

I mean, what's the meeting all about?

Oh, nothing much.

Heck it isn't.

We need $10.

You leave Mr. Nelson alone.

He has problems of his own.

Well, I still might be able to help you guys out.

What do you need the money for?

It's kind of a secret.

Well, I don't want to pry into any of your secrets.

You say you need $10, huh?

Yeah, sir.

No, we don't.

We only need $9.

We already got $1.50.

Well, let me think a little.

Maybe I can give you some ideas.

As a kid, we did a lot of things to raise money.

Like what?

Well, let's see, I used to help my mother wash the dishes.

We got a dishwasher.

Oh.

Well, say, I tell you what.

During the summer, we used to set up a lemonade stand

and sell lemonade.

Of course, it might be a little late in the season for that

now.

- No, I like lemonade. - Me, too.

I'm thirsty.

Let's go buy some.

We got $1.50.

Oh, no, wait a second, you guys.

The idea is to make money, not spend it.

Yeah, but how do we do it?

Well, you take your capital, that's your $1.50,

invest in some lemons and some sugar and some paper cups.

Then you put up a little stand and you're in business.

Yeah, but how much money will we make?

Well, that depends on a lot of things.

How good your lemonade is, where you set up your stand,

how much you charge, and how many relatives you have.

That sounds like a good idea to me.

Let's go get the stuff.

Yeah, thanks, Mr. Nelson.

OK, fellas, so long.

Bye.

Hey, this is going to be fun.

Hey, wait a minute.

Suppose it rains.

Well, we'll just add some more lemons.

Ozzie?

Oh, hi. Need some help?

No, thank you.

I'm just wondering if you'd noticed our front lawn.

Oh, come on, I just cut it a couple of days ago.

It couldn't possibly grow that fast.

No, I don't mean that.

I just wondered how long we've been in business.

Well, what are you talking about?

Well, as I came in the driveway,

I noticed a bunch of kids out there putting up

a stand on our front lawn.

Oh, you're kidding.

Oh, that's a lemonade stand.

Oh, I know that.

But why are they putting it up on our front lawn?

Well, I mentioned something to them about selling lemonade.

That's what I thought.

But I didn't tell them to put the stand up on our front lawn.

Oh, it doesn't make any difference.

Well, yes, it does.

That's a lot of nerve.

Well, what are you going to do?

Probably buy some lemonade.

Hi, fellas.

Hi, Mr. Nelson.

How do you like our lemonade stand?

Oh, it's very nice.

Is it OK if we keep it here?

It's a good location.

Well, yeah, I guess so.

We can move it if you want.

Only thing, though, it should be a lot of trouble.

And it's heavy, too.

I guess you can keep it here.

In fact, I'll be your first customer.

Gee, thanks a lot, Mr. Nelson.

One lemonade.

Coming right up.

Thank you.

I guess that's $0.05, isn't it?

Not for you, Mr. Nelson.

It's on the house.

Be our guest.

Oh, well, gee, thanks, fellas.

But really, I think I ought to pay the same as everybody else.

No, we insist.

Oh, OK.

Here's to you, boys.

I think it needs a little more sugar.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the sugar.

I sure wish we could get some customers.

Well, give it a little time.

You just got set up.

Hey, here comes a car.

Fresh lemonade!

Fresh lemonade!

I guess they didn't see our sign.

Well, you can't expect them all to stop.

Here you go, Mr. Nelson.

Oh, thank you.

Is that better?

Yeah.

That's got plenty of sugar.

Here comes another car.

Lemonade, $0.05.

Lemonade.

Gee, nobody stops.

Well, I wouldn't worry about it.

You just got to be patient.

Well, I'll see you guys.

Mr. Nelson?

Yeah?

You didn't finish your lemonade.

Oh.

Well, good luck, boys.

Mr. Nelson?

Yeah?

You owe us $0.05.

I thought you said it was on the house.

That was the first one.

The one without the sugar.

Oh.

Well, here we are.

- Thanks, Mr. Nelson. - OK.

Good luck, boys.

Bye.

Lemonade $0.05.

Lemonade $0.05.

Oh, hi, Dave.

How's June?

Just fine, thanks.

See the lemonade stand out there?

Are you kidding?

They wouldn't let me in the house until I bought some.

Well, I don't think business is too good.

Neither is the lemonade.

I sure hope it picks up.

How come you're so interested?

Well, it was kind of my idea.

See, the kids are trying to raise some money.

Oh, haven't they had any customers?

Well, a few of the parents have been over

and I bought a couple.

It's too bad it isn't a warmer day.

That would sure help.

Maybe we ought to go out and buy some more?

Are you kidding? I just had some.

Well, so did I.

You talking about that lemonade out there?

Well, yeah.

I just had some.

Oh, it's really awful.

Oh, come on, you guys.

You remember when you were little kids trying to raise

some money selling lemonade?

Well, as long as you put it that way, I guess one more

wouldn't kill us.

I hope not.

Come on, I'll join you.

We'll have a double.

Pop, they were just stirring it when I came in.

Well, what about it?

Well, couldn't we wait for about five minutes

until all that sugar settled?

Oh, come on.

Well, here we are.

More?

Yeah, well, there's was a lot left

and it's getting kind of late.

Ricky?

Thank you.

David.

Thank you.

Harriet.

Well, here's to a successful lemonade business.

Here, here.

Time for dinner, fellas.

Oh, gee, thanks a lot, Mr. Nelson,

but we have to go home for dinner.

Oh, that's what I mean.

We're starting to get calls from your mothers.

It's time for you guys to go home.

Hey, business must have picked up.

The lemonade is almost gone.

No, we had to pour some out.

My frog jumped in it.

He sure likes lemonade.

How'd you guys make out?

We got $1.35.

Oh, that's not too bad.

Yeah, but we start out with a $1.50.

You mean, you lost money?

Yeah, we had to buy lemons and sugar and paper cups.

Thanks, anyway, Mr. Nelson.

Oh, well, gee, I'm sorry, boys.

I guess it wasn't such a good idea of mine.

It wasn't your fault, Mr. Nelson.

I guess people just weren't thirsty today.

Except Mr. Nelson.

I'm a big lemonade man.

Would you like to have the rest of this?

Oh, no, thanks.

Why don't you guys drink it? - Not me.

I'm sick of it.

Me too.

What was that?

That's my frog.

He's sick of it, too.

Well, that was a good show.

Oh, yeah.

I thought you were watching it?

Well, I was, sort of.

I keep worrying about Barry and the kids.

Here they were trying to raise $10 and I lose $0.15 for them.

Well, it wasn't your fault. You tried.

Well, I know, but I feel responsible.

How did Dave and Ricky used to raise money?

You used to give them an allowance.

Yeah, but I mean when they needed extra money.

Well, they used to collect bottles occasionally,

didn't they? - Hey, that's right!

And newspapers, too, and sell them to the junk man.

Barry and the kids could do that.

Yeah, I guess so.

If they still have junk men.

Well, I'm sure they do.

I'll tell them about it in the morning.

Well, I'm going upstairs to bed.

You coming?

Oh, yeah, I think I'll get something to eat first.

I wish I knew whether that frog jumped in the lemonade

before or after I had that last cup.

What frog?

Oh, it was nothing.

Ozzie, what frog?

How are the boys making out?

Well, I'll say this for them, they're not lazy.

They've been going all over the neighborhood gathering up

old newspapers and bottles.

We've got a lot of papers and magazines out in our garage.

Yeah, I know. I promised them those.

Got yourself off the hook anyway.

Well, I sure hope so after that lemonade fiasco.

Well, at least they can't lose any money on this.

It's Barry.

Hi, Mr. Nelson.

Oh, hi, Barry.

We got all the papers and bottles.

You ought to see all the stuff.

Well, good for you.

Where is it?

Right out here in your yard.

Oh.

Come on.

My goodness, you did collect a lot, didn't you?

Yeah, and I think we can get some more, too.

This sure is a good way to make money.

- Sure is. - Mr. Nelson?

Yeah?

When do we get the money?

Well, as soon as you sell all the stuff.

You take the bottles down to the store

and sell the papers to a junk man.

What junk man?

Well, any junk man.

Maybe you can look one up in the phone book.

I'll tell you what.

I'll look one up for you and give him a call, OK?

Gee, thanks a lot, Mrs. Nelson.

Meanwhile, why don't you guys get this stuff organized?

Suppose you sort out all the bottles

and put them to one side, and we'll put them in boxes.

And I'll go in the kitchen and get some string

and we can bundle up the papers, OK?

OK.

Come on, you guys, let's get to work.

Boy, we ought to get a lot of money for this stuff.

Maybe even $10.

Boy, we got to have that much.

Hi, fellas.

Hi, Rick.

What's all this?

Well, the boys have been collecting bottles and papers

so they can sell 'em and make some money like you and Dave

used to do. - Sure got a lot of 'em.

We're going to sell them for $10.

Oh, good.

Pop?

Yeah?

I hate to tell you this, but times have changed.

Most of these bottles are marked "no deposit, no return."

Well, no kidding?

What's that mean?

It means we collected them for nothing.

Now, wait a second.

You could probably sell some of 'em.

Not many of them though.

Well, look, don't get too discouraged, fellas.

You still got all the papers.

Ozzie?

Yeah?

I've got some bad news about the papers.

Well, like what?

Well, I called a couple of junk dealers,

but it seems they don't buy papers anymore.

Well, they used to.

Times have changed, I guess.

Well, looks like we wasted another day.

Just like the lemonade stand.

Yeah.

I guess I better get out of here.

Well, look, fellas.

I'm awfully sorry.

That's OK, Mr. Nelson.

I guess that was a good idea in the old days.

Come on, you guys.

No, no, no, wait a second.

I just got an idea.

I'll pay you $10 to haul all this junk away.

No, you don't have to do that, Mr. Nelson.

It wasn't your fault.

Yeah, we know you meant well.

Come on, you guys.

Thanks just the same.

Now, as soon as the water has come to a boil,

reduce the flame, and add the diced carrots.

While this is simmering, prepare your white sauce.

Be sure that it isn't too thick.

Now let's see how our muffins are coming.

What are you watching, Pop?

Oh, the news.

Oh, yes, they're doing beautifully.

And now for our salad dressing.

Must have been pretty dull at the United Nations today.

It was the news.

I guess I've been worrying about the kids trying

to raise the $10.

What do they want the money for anyway?

Well, who knows, some secret project.

You know how kids are, trying to build a spaceship or something.

Whatever it is, I haven't been much help to them.

Well, I've got an idea how they could raise some money.

I hope it's better than my ideas.

I was just thinking you could hire

them to do some things around here, like wash the car,

mow the lawn, stuff like that.

Yeah, that sounds good.

If they all pitched in, they could

raise the money in no time.

Good idea, Rick.

Thanks a lot.

Glad to help.

Look, are you guys still interested in earning that $10?

Yeah, we sure are.

Well, I have another idea for you.

This is a good one.

How would you guys like to do some work

around the house for me?

What kind of work?

Well, I was thinking about mowing our back lawn.

Hey, that sounds like fun.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

OK, let's go, fellas.

Come on, you guys.

I get to mow the lawn first.

You do not.

I do.

I never mowed a lawn before.

Neither did I.

Me neither.

Where's the motor?

Must have fell off.

No, that's one of the old fashioned kind

you have to push. - OK.

You can go first. - I will not.

You go first.

Will you guys quit arguing?

I'll do it.

Help him.

Push.

I am pushing.

Uh, look, fellas, I'm afraid this isn't going to work.

We can do it, Mr. Nelson.

Have they finished mowing the lawn already?

No, they couldn't quite handle it.

They're a little too young.

I've got 'em on another job.

Oh, what are they doing now?

They're washing my car.

Barry?!

Barry?

What's the matter, Mr. Nelson?

Mr. Nelson?

Yeah?

How can you tell weeds from flowers?

Well, that all depends. Why?

What's the trouble?

You know those things out there by your front door?

Are they weeds?

No, no.

Those are Mrs. Nelson's marigolds.

Oh, OK.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, guys. we have to put them back.

Barry?

Fellas?

- Ozzie? - Yeah.

Well, Barry's mother just called, his lunch is ready.

Oh.

Hey, Kim, where's Barry?

I don't know.

Barry?

Barry?

I'm up here!

I'm fixing your roof.

Don't move.

Stay right where you are.

I'll get a ladder.

Stay right there.

I bet you we could paint something for you.

How about your back fence?

I just painted it a couple of weeks ago.

Would you like a birdhouse?

I can make you a birdhouse.

I think you guys have earned the money already.

Gee, we haven't even worked an hour yet.

We haven't done anything.

We broke a flowerpot.

Why don't I pay you guys $10 and we'll call it even?

No, we couldn't take $10, Mr. Nelson.

We haven't earned it.

Well, I think you have.

You certainly tried hard enough.

Oh, gee, thanks a lot, Mr. Nelson,

but we'll get it somewhere.

Come on, you guys, let's have a meeting at the clubhouse.

Thanks for the ice cream, Mr. Nelson.

Yes, thanks.

So did you give them the $10?

Well, I tried to, but they wouldn't take it.

They said they hadn't earned it.

Well, I must say, they're certainly honest.

Yeah, they sure are.

They're just too young for that kind of work.

Hey, here's an idea.

Suppose I should happen to lose a $10 bill

right near their clubhouse where they'd be sure to find it?

That'd solve our whole problem.

But it's not your problem.

Well, in a way, it is.

If I hadn't come up with those ridiculous ideas,

they probably would have had the money a week ago.

Well, it still doesn't make much sense

to lose a $10 bill in a vacant lot.

No, I guess you're right.

But you're going to do it anyway.

Harriet?

OK, meeting come to order.

Come on, you guys, let's quiet down.

We still need $10.

The question is, how are we going to get it?

Let's not ask Mr. Nelson again.

Heck, no.

Hey, Joe.

Hi, Oz.

Sh.

What's the matter?

I don't want the kids to hear us.

Oh, hey, look, what I just found.

It's my lucky day. - I know.

That's my $10. I just dropped it there.

Well, it's mine now. I just found it.

Finders keepers.

I dropped there on purpose so the kids could find it.

Oh, come on, Oz.

No.

It's kind of a long story but, the kids need $10,

and I want to give it to them without their knowing who

did it.

You know, Oz, sometimes I think you're some kind of--

Some kind of a nut, but nevertheless, it's true.

Now give me the $10.

I want to put it back.

Scout's honor?

Scout's honor.

I must say, it's been a very short lucky streak.

- Hi, Mom. - Hi, Rick.

- Hi, Rick. - Hi, Pop.

- Did you hear the news? - What news?

I was talking to Barry and he and the kids found a $10 bill

over in the vacant lot.

Harriet, did you hear that?

Barry and the kids found a $10 bill.

Amazing!

It must have been fate.

What's so funny?

Well, your mother and I sort of knew about it.

You should have seen the expression on their faces

when they found it. - Were you there?

Hiding in the bush.

What's this?

Well, see, I accidentally lost it so the kids could find it.

Anyway, it solves their money problem.

Now they've got their $10.

That's pretty funny.

This'll hand you another laugh.

After the kids found the money, they

took it down to the police station and turned it in.

What did they do that for?

What's wrong with these kids?

Maybe they're just honest.

Well, I realize it was the right thing to do,

but it was inconsid--

- Where are you going? - Down to the police station.

Well, wait for me.

So I decided to lose the money and let them find it.

Just a minute, sir, you're getting a little ahead of me.

What did you say your name was?

Ozzie Nelson.

Oh, yes.

And what was this about a lemonade stand?

Well, actually that was incidental.

See, I carefully placed the $10 where the kids could find it.

Then you're claiming it's your $10?

That's right.

I don't suppose you'd know the serial number?

I'll vouch for him, Sergeant. It was his.

I know. I gave it to him.

Oh, I believe you.

It's just that it's a little confusing.

Just sign here, please?

OK, thank you.

I'll get your money.

No, no, no, no.

No, I don't want the money

Well, it's yours, isn't it?

Well, yes, but I'm trying to give it

to the kids that found it.

Without their knowing it.

Well, but I'm supposed to return it

to the rightful owner.

But I want the kids to have it.

Wait a minute.

Couldn't we give them a reward?

Yes, you could do that.

Well, could you call the kids and tell them

that the people who lost the money left them a reward?

Oh, sure, that's done all the time.

How much do you want to give them?

Well, all of it, the $10.

OK, it's your money.

And you won't let them know it's from us, will you?

Well, not if you don't want me to.

And you'll make sure they get it?

Oh, yes, sir. It's right here.

Darn it.

Hey, Ed, would you bring up Hatpin Harry for a minute?

Got a job for him.

Ozzie?

Yeah?

There's somebody here to see you.

Oh, good morning, fellas.

Hi, Mr. Nelson.

Look at this.

We got our picture in the paper.

Hey, how about this!

We found some money and turned it over to the police.

Yeah, we're heroes.

Well, I should say you are.

This is great, fellas.

We got a reward, $10.

Oh, that's fine.

Glad to hear it.

You deserve it, too.

You're fine boys.

Yeah, that's what it says in the paper.

And the best part of it is at last you've got your $10.

Yeah.

Hey, Mr. Nelson, it's for you.

Me?

What for?

Well, we had a little accident the other day.

We were trying to throw the baseball over your house

and it smashed your window.

You can get it fixed for $10.

Oh, well, gee, I noticed our attic window was broken,

but I never would have known who did it.

Well, honesty's the best policy.

Yeah, it sure is.

Mr. Nelson?

Yeah?

Would you mind going up in the attic for me

and get my baseball?

You can't miss it.

It has my name on it.

Well, sure thing, but first, I think

this calls for a celebration.

How about a big dish of chocolate ice cream?

Yeah.

Come on, boys.

Tonight's "Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet"

was brought to you by Peter Paul.

These Peter Paul almond clusters,

wait till you try them.

Like Mounds, they're indescribably delicious.
