Synopsis for "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet"
Ricky washes and dries his money using the laundry machine so he can use it to go Christmas shopping. Ozzie insists that Ricky save his money, and goes to deposit it in the bank. A detective visits their household and tells Harriet that the money was actually stolen. Harriet calls the bank looking for Ozzie and tries to warn them. There is a misunderstanding, and a security guard arrests Ozzie for stealing the money. The family goes to police headquarters to get him out of trouble. Ricky is able to identify the real culprit, Bunko Skidro, conveniently standing in the same line-up as Ozzie. The reward for Ricky is another $2000.

Synopsis for "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet"
Ozzie still insists that Ricky must save his money, and takes him back to the same bank. He sends Ricky in alone, having gotten into trouble last time. Outside, Ozzie agrees to watch an ice cream vendor's cart, and soon finds himself frantically trying to serve customers. An angry cop forces Ozzie to leave as it is illegal to sell ice cream in front of the bank. Ozzie arrives home, and is shocked when Ricky follows having purchased the ice cream cart. Ricky proudly says he was using the money to start a business like his father suggested. The cop appears again and insists that allowing Ricky to run the stand would violate child labor laws. To his frustration, Ozzie is once again forced into selling ice cream.
