Money to Blow

This story seems to have a moral in it. It starts with Dad telling the boys that they are going to have to get jobs to earn some money. Bud, wanting to spend his spare time playing rather than working, is quite upset about this and sits to decide how to take care of the problem. But then he thinks they're poor when the TV repair man takes their TV away. Meanwhile, Flipper finds some money and Bud goes to investigate. He finds an underwater treasure of money. Does he call int he authorities? NOPE! Good ol' Bud takes the money and spends it all over town!

Of course, many times when the child does something wrong, the parent is punished. Why is Po in trouble with the law? Well, you'll have to watch it to find out!

The ending shows the punishment for the boys - yes, I said BOYS! Because it gets worse...just watch it! In the end, the boys have to deliver their papers while sitting on pillows...really!

After Bud (Tommy Norden) and Sandy (Luke Halpin) frolic in the water with Flipper and Pete, Ricks (Brian Kelly) suggests his sons consider helping out with the expenses by getting jobs; a Park Ranger doesn't make a lot of money, he notes. When the "Chapman Television Service" carts away the family TV for repairs, Bud thinks it's being repossessed because Ricks can't make payments. The Ricks' imagined money problems are seemingly solved when Flipper leads Bud to some shipwrecked money. He doesn't know the money is counterfeit; instead of helping Ricks, Bud's spending spree gets his father in trouble with the Sheriff (Eric Applewhite); then, Sandy, Bud, and Flipper face danger when investigating the sunken ship...
