In the first episode of a two-part story, Laverne (Penny Marshall) and Shirley (Cindy Williams) are outraged when they think they have been passed over for a salary hike. In the tradition of such previous sitcom protagonists as Ralph Kramden and Rob Petrie, the girls mete out vengeance by writing an angry letter to the boss. Inevitably, word comes through that L&S have gotten their raise after all--but it's too late to retrieve the letter from their boss' office!
