He says he could get the return finished sooner if his wife wasn't always watching over him. That gives Harriet the idea to get some of the wives to play cards at the Women's Club that night. Ozzie and Ricky get to Herb's office and he's out to lunch. Ricky notices a safe and asks Ozzie if he could open it. Ozzie shows Ricky how to turn the dial and he winds up opening the safe.

Ozzie mentions a rich guy named Cranston Poole that used to buy Harriet orchids all the time. Ozzie and Rickey go to Orville's (Alan Mowbray) flower shop to buy the violets.
