Fibber gets a $100.00 bill

Originally Aired: January 7, 1941 Fibber McGee & Molly #269, "Fibber gets a $100.00 bill," When Fibber withdraws $100 from the 14th National Bank for current expenses, he decides to take the entire amount as a single crisp hundred-dollar bill to feel prosperous for once. Despite Molly's sensible suggestion to get smaller bills, Fibber is eager to flash his wealth around Wistful Vista and impress neighbors like Gildersleeve and Mrs. Uppington. His plan quickly falls apart when he loses his only quarter at a parking lot and the attendant refuses to accept the hundred-dollar bill as proof he's good for the 25 cents. With the bank closed for the day, Fibber and Molly find themselves stranded. The McGees begin a frustrating trek around town trying to get the bill changed. They encounter the snooty Mrs. Uppington, who refuses to help and lectures Fibber about the germs on paper money. As Fibber tries various establishments without success and Molly grows tired, cold, and hungry, the couple finds themselves miles from home, learning the hard way that sometimes having too much money in one place is just as bad as having none at all.
