Lafe Lingers On

Freeloader Lafe Crick and his daughter are headed back home and Granny's glad to see them go. But it's not long before Miss Jane drives Lafe back to the mansion. Lafe pretends to be weak and hungry and claims he doesn't want charity. Lafe manages to con Mr. Drysdale into thinking he's a hard worker and into giving him a job at the bank guarding Jed's money. Granny doesn't think Lafe can be trusted in a bank. When left alone in Drysdale's office, Lafe starts looking around for Jed's money. But when he finds out that most of Jed's money isn't actually in the bank, Lafe then believes Jed has his money buried behind the mansion. Granny had wanted a root cellar dug in the back yard. When her and Jed get up the next morning, they find Lafe has dug a giant hole in the yard.
