As she calls to her little small voice, Ricky stands by her in great anticipation.Ĭast: Charles Lane as Mr. He asks her if her small voice inside is telling her what to invest in today. Ricky is so happy with his money, and with his perception that Lucy must have some 6th sense to have thought that Can All Pet was good enough stock to have put on her list, that he gives Lucy half of it, and guesses that she will now put it right back into the market. Ricky comes home with $1000 he got from investing in Can All Pet, confessing that since Hickcox said it was bad stock, he fired him. By now, Lucy's bill at the market totals $473. He checks the Stock Exchange in the paper and sees "Can All Pet", short for Canadian Allied Petroleum and says he'll ask Hickcox to buy him some of that stock. He finds the note Lucy made: Tuesday buy Can All Pet. When Fred tells Ricky that he thought he heard Lucy and Ethel say something about the market, Ricky then believes Lucy is playing the stock market. He questions her on where she got it and, with a twinkle in her eye, says they really should have gotten a business manager a long time ago. She gives him money for a haircut and pulls out her large roll of money. When Ricky comes home and sees Lucy's hair has been done and she has on a new dress, he laments that his allowance is all gone. She denies this saying that Hickcox has to, since he arranged the credit and it's his responsibility. Ethel cautions her that at the end of the month she has got to pay the bill at the market. Soon, Lucy has been in business a week and has more money than she knows what to do with. Trumbull comes for her groceries, she asks if the next day Lucy could get her a can of All Pet for her cat and Lucy writes it on her list. Lucy keeps a notebook of grocery lists for each of her 'clients': Benson, Williams, Trumbull, etc. When Ethel gives Lucy money to get her a few things at the market, Lucy gets the idea she could charge Ethel's groceries with hers and keep the money, and further, she can do that for everybody in the building. He will, however, arrange credit for her and she can charge groceries at the store. Ethel wins the $5 when Lucy unsuccessfully flatters, weedles, pleads and cries for more money from Hickcox. Ethel bets Lucy her last $5 that she can't. She confers with Ethel in her kitchen that she can talk him into giving her more money. Lucy can now spend the rest any way she wants, but it's only $5 that's left to buy food and have her hair dyed (or done!). Ethel takes money for the month and a half rent that's due. He asks for money from Lucy so he can pay the bills: $20 for the milk bill, $11.25 for the phone, $8.75 for gas and electricity, and $15 for cleaning and laundry. As the Mertzes arrive, Hickcox sees Lucy owes some back bills so he decides to start her off even with everybody. He decides he'll wipe the slate clean and start all over, giving her a monetary allowance for the month. Hickcox, he confesses he's been in business 20 years and Lucy's bookkeeping books are the first ones he's had trouble figuring out. Ricky decides to spend extra and get a business manager to handle all the money and pay all the bills. She is mystified as to why this is the worst her household budget has been in 13 years. When Ricky finds the lights aren't working, Lucy confesses she meant to pay the light bill, but hadn't. She's been getting third notices from every company in town, threatening to shut things off.
