Money Mad
Author(s):
Kurtz Gordon
The Blakleys and the Hobsons are close friends and next-door neighbors. All is well until Edgar Blakley induces Larry Hobson to invest with him in real estate that Edgar believes is in the direct course of the new Thru-way and will bring them a quick profit. But they have no cash of their own, and they dip heavily into Janet's and Keith's college funds. Their little deal is a secret until a newspaper item reveals it. Then Cora Blakley and Maude Hobson, their wives, demand to know where the money came from. When they are told, Maude turns on Edgar and blames him for influencing Larry to use her son's college fund, and the deal had better pay off or ELSE! Then the course of the Thru-way is changed so that it bypasses the land and nest thing you know the BIG MAD is on! And it stays on as the two families bicker back and forth--until Keith and Janet announce that they turned what seemed to be a loss into a profit after all. In the end, however, their own spite fools the Blakleys and Hobsons in their dream of riches, and the BIG MAD is on again.
