Familiar story about finding money, but well done because it's Maynard who is the lucky guy!
Maynard happens to pick up a lady's purse containing 500 dollars, but being very honest, he turns it into the police. The really nice deal is --IF -- nobody claims the cash in six months, IT'S ALL HIS. As Maynard's luck would have it, six l-o-n-g months go by, and he's really going nuts.
FINALLY, one day before the six months is up, and looking like he's going to cash in, Maynard throws a big party and starts giving money away. You have to love this stuff. In the meantime, crooks Willy (played by comedian Joey Faye) and Alfred (Milton Frome) have been watching Maynard -- so Willy dresses up as a little old lady, crashes the party and announces he is the rightful owner. Dobie to the rescue!
Super comedy story, and with a nice square dance scene. Very well directed. From SEASON 2 EPISODE 7 remastered dvd box set. Check out the classic color cover photo of Dobie and Maynard.
