On his daily rounds, Lamont picks up a leather satchel in an alley and doesn't realize until he gets it home that it contains $50,000. He and Fred first dream about what to do with the money then begin to panic when they fear that someone might come looking for it. To keep it secure, Fred hides the satchel in the house safe and accidentally locks the combination inside, which proves to be a problem when the man who stole the money comes looking for it and holds Fred and Lamont at gunpoint demanding it back.
