His neighbor, Mrs Beanbag has a dispute with branches that hang over property lines. Will her husband help the matter at all?
Freddie Rich plays, Begin the Beguine.
Taking the matter to court, Bessie Beanbag will drop the matter if Lou pays 50 cents to replace her damaged bucket. That’s too simple, and Bud hires Kitzel to be the lawyer.

How will the matter be decided once it goes to the Supreme Court?
