Alice's brother Frank comes over for dinner. Ralph and Frank have a history of problems and they spend the evening arguing. As the evening comes to a close Frank as for a loan of $500 since Frank already owes Ralph $500 Ralph throws him out. But Ralph decides that the inside information his brother-in-law had about a new highway going past a closed hotel was a good idea. He gets Norton involved and they buy the place. Needless to say the hotel is a dump. They actually manage to do a nice job of rehabilitating the hotel only to find out that the road is going to be an elevated highway.

This is another one of those fly-by-night schemes that Ralph gets all wrapped in. When his brother-in-law (whom he despises) gives him information about a hotel that's for sale, he jumps at the chance because he thinks he is stealing the idea. Alice's brother is a notorious loser and Ralph should know better. Early in this series, there was no money to do anything. in some recent ones, there seems to be a fair amount. In past episodes, Ralph has lost all the money on his schemes. One funny thing in this one. The bell signals thing with Norton.
