Andy tells Amos all about the new business idea that Kingfish has cooked up. Besides seeking favors for raising money, Kingfish also has troubles when he learns that his brother in law is to come to town. The least that Andy can do is take Lightning and pick up Leroy from the train station.

The official story is that Kingfish and Sapphire are out of town, so Andy shows the visiting relative a night out. Word of a lucrative investment reaches Andy, and he’s sure that the smell of cash will call Kingfish out of hiding.

Enjoy a few moments of Kingfish putting his foot in his mouth when he meets the brother in law who he has never seen. Will the unkind words said about Leroy get Kingfish cut out of the good graces of Sapphire’s brother? Andy has a plan to use the lack of recognition, and recruits their friend, Gabby to fill in as Kingfish. A set of signals is arranged to feed Gabby the answers needed to fool the unwitting brother in law. What could possibly go wrong with the situation? How about if Sapphire should come home to spoil the ring of false identities. Will Kingfish have a ready answer to save face?

But wait, the mix ups keep on coming.
