As a homecoming surprise for Bill (Brian Keith), who's on assignment in East Africa, Buffy and Jody pool their savings to buy their uncle a gift. Unfortunately, they can't get much with their combined bankroll of $1.07--that is, until genial Hansom Cab driver E.P. McGovern (Paul Hartman) offers them his horse, "Rose of Killarney." Rose, alas turns out to be a worn-out old nag, leaving Uncle Bill with the problem of unloading the gift without hurting the twins' feelings.
