Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) has decided that the Shady Rest Hotel needs a new water heater. Not only would it be more efficient than Kate's wood-burning stove, but also Uncle Joe wouldn't have to chop any more firewood. To raise money to purchase the heater, Joe transforms the hotel into a corporation and begins merrily issuing stock--yet another get-rich-quick scheme doomed to spectacular failure. Byron Foulger, who would later join the series' cast as train engineer Wendell Gibbs, is here cast as Mr. Guerney.
