Is Effie in trouble with Sam for taking advantage of office supplies? He has a surprise for her, and he'll let her have it when he comes in to dictate his report. We learn about the well to do family with a prodigal daughter. The rift stems from an accident that left Mr Skelley without the power of vocal chords. His assistant explains the concern that the girl will find herself in trouble, and miss out on her inheritance if she doesn't stop dating an ex-convict.
