Under intense pressure to keep his store solvent while still obeying the new wartime price and rationing restrictions, Ike Godsey (Joe Conley) suffers a heart attack. As the Waltons lend a helping hand at the store, Ike is pressured by his wife Corabeth to sell the place and retire -- and to prove that he'd be better off staying at home, she nearly kills her husband with kindness! Also keenly aware of wartime priorities and shortages are Ben (Eric Scott) and Jim-Bob (David W. Harper), who hope to strike it rich by manufacturing their own sugar.
