00:00Hi, sir.
00:14No luck, huh?
00:17I can tell by the expression on your face that you haven't found what you wanted for Mr. Steve's birthday.
00:22Well, yes and no.
00:24You found what you wanted? What is it?
00:26A pool table, only...
00:30An honest-to-goodness regulation pool table for the attic playroom, like Mr. Steve's always wanted?
00:35Yeah, I ran into this tremendous bargain, and, well, I couldn't resist.
00:39How much of a bargain?
00:41Well, it's just like new. A $900 table for only $250.
00:45Oh, for Pete's sake, that's a real steal.
00:49But I only have $50 to spend.
00:52Oh, well, of course, nothing's a bargain if you can't afford it.
00:55We'll have to think of something else, then.
00:58Uh, that won't work, Hazel. I already deposited the $50 on the pool table.
01:02You did?
01:04Oh, Hazel, I really got carried away. Now, where am I going to get $200 to finish paying for it?
01:09Well, I could lend you $50.
01:11Oh, no, absolutely not.
01:13And I can't ask Steve for the money.
01:15I can't take it out of his savings account.
01:17What kind of a present would that be if he had to pay for it himself?
01:20Well, I guess we're just going to have to come up with the extra money.
01:24Well, how?
01:26Well, that all depends on whether Mr. Ritchie is still interested.
01:31Mr. Ritchie?
01:32Yeah, you know, he's the one that owns all the Ritchie supermarkets.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Of course, it would mean tying up the kitchen, but...
01:39Oh, but what?
01:40Well, but first I'd better call Mr. Ritchie.
01:42Well, let's go.
02:12Mr. Ritchie, I can't tell you how delighted I am that you'll reconsider.
02:33I think that your homemade chili sauce is going to be a big seller in our gourmet food section.
02:37Well, I sure hope so, Mr. Ritchie.
02:39Oh, no doubt about it.
02:40My only regret is I couldn't get you to do it sooner.
02:43Well, we'd like to get started right away.
02:45And here's a list of the things we'll need if you're still going to supply them.
02:48Oh, yes, yes, yes.
02:49Well, let's see what we have here.
02:51Tomatoes, peppers, celery, spices, jars.
02:54What about labels?
02:56Oh, I never thought of them.
02:57Yes, we have to get a catchy name for it.
03:00Something provocative to stimulate sales.
03:03Oh, well, I'd always just think of it as Burke's chili sauce.
03:06The recipe's been in the family for years.
03:09Burke's chili sauce.
03:11No, no.
03:12It's got to be something more nostalgic.
03:15Something that tells a customer it's homemade and delicious.
03:19Well, what about Grandma Burke's chili sauce?
03:22No, no.
03:23That doesn't quite ring a bell.
03:25Oh, I've got it.
03:28How about Grandma Hazel's chili sauce?
03:31How does that sound?
03:33Oh.
03:34Well, that makes me kind of ancient.
03:38Aunt Hazel's chili sauce.
03:39Will you settle for that?
03:41It's a deal.
03:41Good.
03:42Okay, that's it for now.
03:57Well, fine.
03:57What about the jars?
03:59Well, they're coming on another truck.
04:00Be here on 10 o'clock.
04:01That's good.
04:02Don't forget, we need another batch of tomatoes and celery this afternoon.
04:05Yes, ma'am.
04:06We'll be here.
04:12Oh, what are you all dressed up for?
04:38We are going to the club for dinner.
04:40We are?
04:41Why?
04:42The Baxters are giving a big dinner party.
04:45Oh, they are?
04:46The grocery trucks have been coming and going by droves.
04:49So what?
04:50So we...
04:52Well, to begin with, I didn't know that the Ritchie supermarkets would deliver.
04:55They're strictly cash and carry.
04:59You know, I'm just as glad that we weren't invited.
05:01I don't think they're having anything but salad or tomato surprise.
05:05Tomato what?
05:07Tomatoes.
05:07There is enough vitamin C in that house to cure every cold in the country.
05:11I still don't see what that has to do with our going to the club for dinner.
05:17Surely you don't expect me to sit here alone with you while everybody else is having such a good time over at the Baxters.
05:24Cause I don't want to watch the Baxters.
05:24If you want to talk about it, you might be like the teenGold.
05:25Oh, they're very few people.
05:25This one will be the child.
05:26If you want to talk to her, it's...
05:26If you want to talk to her, I'm going to talk to her and giving them your tea food on.
05:28If it's long with me, I don't know.
05:28Even when my kids have a black and my mother.
05:29But I think she will not take a small lid
05:31for this young baby.
05:32Like the friends will call him, babe, I sharpen my hands away.
05:35I have a problem aStaical in the country.
05:37I thought it's like, maybe you might have a ghost or grey cat like, but thanks.
05:40Well, I wonder if we're out of this townhouse, if I'm still.
05:40Everybody says We're looking at this place to the hotel.
05:42What's going on?
05:58Oh, we're making chili sauce.
06:02For the whole neighborhood?
06:05For the whole town.
06:07I mean, it made such a hit at the church bazaar.
06:11Everybody in town wanted a jar.
06:14It smells delicious, but how much of the stuff do you think we can use?
06:19Oh, a lot. And besides, you know, it lasts a long time.
06:23You know, honey, it figures.
06:24You were never one to do anything halfway.
06:27You know, that stuff is giving me an appetite.
06:30What's for dinner?
06:32Oh, anything you like.
06:34Hazel and I thought tonight might be a good night for you to pick up some fried chicken or Chinese food or maybe some pizzas.
06:40Okay.
06:42Whoops.
06:43Maybe I'd better go out the front door.
06:49Oh, boy, that was a close one.
06:51So far, so good.
06:52We've got to work fast to keep him from finding out we're making this stuff to sell.
06:55Oh, we can't let him find out.
06:57If he does, it'll ruin his whole birthday surprise.
06:59We've got a tiger by the tail.
07:01What do you mean?
07:01Well, we can only cook six gallons at a time.
07:04That's all that stove will take care of.
07:06And it takes four hours to cook and bottle, and that'll only fill 75 of them bottles Mr. Ritchie sent over.
07:12And that's 15 cents a jar for us.
07:14It's 25 and two to carry is $11.25 a batch.
07:20Yeah, I didn't think it was going to take this long to make that 200 bucks.
07:23Okay, so we will make it, won't we?
07:25Oh, sure we will if we have to work night and day.
07:57Smelling it all night long.
07:59Well, if you're not going to have any breakfast here, you'll have plenty of time to walk to the office.
08:04If you leave now, the fresh air will do you good.
08:07Yeah, maybe you're right.
08:09Well, bye-bye, honey.
08:10Bye.
08:10Bye.
08:10Bye.
08:27Oh, hi, Mona.
08:43Hi, Barb.
08:44What's cooking?
08:47It smells marvelous.
08:49We're making chili sauce.
08:51Making it?
08:52Hazel and I.
08:53Good grief.
08:54I didn't think anybody bothered to can anything anymore.
08:57Well, this is special.
08:58Come on.
08:59Use this in a lot of stuff.
09:01Huh?
09:02Oh, tomatoes.
09:03Especially tomatoes.
09:04We're up to here in tomatoes.
09:06Oh, I know.
09:07I saw the grocery trucks coming and going yesterday.
09:11Your friend said he thought you were giving a dinner party.
09:14As it was, we didn't even have time to make our own dinner last night.
09:19Oh.
09:21Uh, did you want something special, Mona?
09:24Hmm?
09:25Oh, no.
09:26No, I...
09:27I thought maybe you'd like to go shopping with me, pick down a dress or something.
09:30Oh, I can't.
09:31I really can't.
09:32Hazel and I have got to keep on the job.
09:34Oh?
09:42Happy canning.
09:44It's a featured specialty at the Ritchie Supermarket.
09:5695 cents a bottle.
09:58Well, they must be making a fortune.
09:59It's twice as much as any other chili sauce.
10:02Oh, it's worth it.
10:03I haven't tasted chili sauce like that since I was a kid.
10:06Stop eating.
10:08What do you think?
10:09Sounds to me like a good way for Hazel to pick up a few extra bucks.
10:12I wish her luck.
10:13It's not just Hazel.
10:14Barbara's doing it, too.
10:15They're both working on it.
10:18The kitchen light is still on.
10:20They are manufacturing chili sauce night and day.
10:24Poor Steve.
10:24What do you mean, poor Steve?
10:27Well, I've heard that real estate isn't moving, but I never suspected he'd been hit so hard as to have Hazel and Barbara go to work to help out.
10:34I suppose that's why they're doing it.
10:36Well, if they're in it together, it must be to keep the family from going under.
10:38Oh, come on.
10:40Things can't be that bad with the Baxters.
10:44He's a proud guy.
10:45A man's man.
10:47Steve would never let it be known that he was scratching the bottom of the barrel.
10:50Well, I don't care what he's scratching.
10:51I don't think it's fair to turn this whole neighborhood into a manufacturing district.
10:57Oh, Mona, don't exaggerate.
10:58Show a little charity.
11:01Poor Steve.
11:01Well, I'll drop in on him tomorrow and see if I can give him a hand.
11:07That's what friends are for.
11:21Do I have to eat this?
11:23You sure do.
11:24I've got no time for arguments of cooking.
11:27You're going to eat cold cereal and like it.
11:29But you gave me a bowl of chili sauce.
11:35I sure did.
11:36I'm sorry, boy.
11:38I got so much on my mind, I gave you my tasting bowl.
11:41What a mistake.
11:51You as worried as you look?
11:53Oh, no, no.
11:54I was just trying to catch up on some reading.
11:56Come on in, Fred.
11:57How have you been?
11:58Oh, fine, fine.
11:59I just happened to be in the neighborhood.
12:00I thought I'd stop by and say hello.
12:02Okay, hello.
12:03How's Mona?
12:04Oh, fine, fine.
12:05Barbara?
12:05Oh, fine.
12:07Then the kids?
12:08Okay.
12:09Hazel okay, too, I suppose.
12:10Oh, sure.
12:12How's everything going?
12:14So-so.
12:15But things are always a bit slow this time of year.
12:17That's what I thought.
12:19And, you know, it's just great the way Barb and Hazel are pitching in to help.
12:22Well, you don't find loyalty like that much anymore, no, sir.
12:26Loyalty?
12:27That's a rare quality, old buddy.
12:29You know, most women would figure, well, that's your problem, brother, and do nothing to help ease the pressure.
12:35You know, the only thing I resent is that you didn't confide in me.
12:39You know, I'm not just a fair-weather friend, you know.
12:43Fair-weather?
12:44I understand you being sensitive and not wanting anybody to know about it, but, well, the time for that nonsense is over, old buddy.
12:50I'm your pal, and I'm here to help you.
12:52Help me?
12:55As best I can.
12:57Now, what do you think you're going to need to see you through?
13:00Within reason, of course.
13:02Fred, what are you talking about?
13:04Well, look, Steve Mona and I know what's going on, so why try to hide it?
13:08We're your friends.
13:09I'm not trying to hide anything.
13:11What's the matter with you?
13:12I'm trying to help.
13:14Fred, there's nothing the matter.
13:15Now, I appreciate your offer, but really, I don't need it.
13:21Okay, old buddy.
13:23That's the way you want to play it?
13:24So be it.
13:26But just remember, I've tried.
13:39Oh, not now.
13:47Oh, I'm coming for Pete's sake.
13:54Oh, for Pete's sake.
14:07I ain't got any time for jokes.
14:09Oh, for Pete's sake.
14:29Yeah?
14:30I tried the front door, but there was no one there.
14:34Well, you didn't give me time to get there.
14:35Oh, sorry.
14:37I'm looking for an Aunt Hazel.
14:39Well, that's me, Hazel Burke.
14:41Come on in.
14:42Oh, thank you.
14:48So you're Aunt Hazel.
14:50And I'll bet that's some of your chili sauce that's cooking there.
14:53Yeah, it is.
14:55Boy, I must be getting famous.
14:58Famous?
14:59Yeah, I never thought people would be stopping by to see where it was made.
15:03You must be a real enthusiastic customer.
15:06I'm afraid you don't understand.
15:09Well, we don't have any regular tours yet, but I can give you a sample.
15:14Oh, no, thanks.
15:16I couldn't, really.
15:17Oh, go on.
15:17It's warm, and that's when it tastes best.
15:19You know, most people make the mistake of serving it cold.
15:22But, Miss Burke, I didn't come here to sample your chili sauce.
15:26You mean you ain't one of my fans?
15:28Well, it's not that exactly.
15:30My name is Moore.
15:32I'm the district inspector from the city health department.
15:36Oh, well, go on and inspect.
15:38You won't find nothing here.
15:39My kitchen's just as clean as a whistle.
15:41That might be true.
15:43What do you mean, might be?
15:44Look, mister.
15:46Excuse me.
15:50Sorry, Hazel, I need to take so long.
15:52Oh.
15:53He's from the health department.
15:55He came to inspect the kitchen.
15:57My name is Moore, ma'am.
15:59I'm Mrs. Baxter.
16:00Oh, how do you do, ma'am?
16:01As I was trying to explain to Miss Burke here...
16:05Barbara?
16:10Barbara, I want to talk to you and Hazel about...
16:13This is my husband, Mr. Baxter.
16:17How do you do?
16:18Are you aware of the city zoning laws?
16:21Certainly.
16:23What's that got to do with my kitchen?
16:25Then you must know that you're in violation of those laws.
16:28It's illegal to conduct a commercial business in a residential neighborhood.
16:33Commercial business?
16:35And Hazel's chili sauce is being sold in all of the richest supermarkets.
16:39Well, what's wrong with that?
16:41Are you against free enterprise?
16:42No, Miss Burke.
16:44But food cannot be processed for resale except in areas zoned for that purpose.
16:50You've been making this chili sauce to sell?
16:53Well, it's all right, Mr. Steve.
16:56I can explain everything.
16:58Oh, please do.
16:59Well, uh, I thought maybe I could make a few bucks.
17:03Barbara, how could you permit a thing like this?
17:05You know all about the zoning laws.
17:07I...
17:08I forgot.
17:10No wonder Fred tried to loan me some money today.
17:13Was Fred Williams the one who reported this to your office?
17:16Nobody reported you, sir.
17:18I discovered the chili sauce during my routine investigation of various markets.
17:23This address was on the label, so I came to check it out.
17:27It's my job.
17:29Well, Hazel, I certainly hope you made enough to pay the fine.
17:33Fine?
17:35Oh, there's no fine.
17:37So long as you cease making the chili sauce for resale.
17:41The department doesn't want to cause any trouble,
17:43but we must insist that the laws are obeyed.
17:47Oh, they'll be obeyed, Mr. Moore.
17:49I promise you.
17:52Well, thank you for your cooperation,
17:55and good day, ladies.
18:02Steve, it's more my fault than it is Hazel's.
18:05No, it ain't.
18:06Like I told you, Mr. Steve.
18:08Hazel, please, I don't want to hear any reasons or excuses.
18:11Do you realize that practically the entire neighborhood thinks we're ready to go on relief?
18:16Oh, well, that's ridiculous.
18:18Making chili sauce to sell on a market.
18:19What are you expecting to think?
18:21Well, I better apologize to Fred for the way I acted.
18:28Oh, maybe we should have told him why we were doing it.
18:31Oh, no.
18:34Then the pool table wouldn't be no surprise.
18:37What pool table?
18:38We've only made $75.
18:39Yeah, I know.
18:40We've got to get $125 more somehow.
18:44Yeah, I guess I'll just have to get him something else for his birthday.
18:53Hi, Hazel.
18:54More tomatoes, fat hazel's chili sauce.
18:56Oh, well, take them back.
18:59We just went out of business.
19:01But what am I going to do with all those posters I've had printed?
19:13I've planned to put them in the windows, hang them in all my shops.
19:17I have 500 of these.
19:19Oh, I'm awful sorry, Mr. Ritchie.
19:21I've not attended his agreement with a jobber.
19:23He was going to distribute it through the entire Midwest.
19:26It sure caught on, didn't it?
19:27Absolutely, and I can't afford to lose it.
19:31I've got him, Spurk.
19:33I'll rent space in a commercial district, install a kitchen, and you can continue making it.
19:38Oh, no, I couldn't do that.
19:39I've got to take care of the Baxter's.
19:41Well, you'll make more money with your chili sauce than being a housekeeper.
19:43Well, that ain't the point.
19:45I've got to look after the Baxter's.
19:46I admire your loyalty, but I need this chili sauce.
19:52I don't suppose you'd consider, or would you?
19:56Consider what?
19:58Would you sell me the recipe, and then I can employ people to continue making it?
20:03Sell you the recipe?
20:04For how much?
20:05Oh, how about $200?
20:10Of course, I'd insist on you giving me permission to keep calling it Aunt Hazel Chili Sauce.
20:15You pay me $200 just for the recipe?
20:18Well, I think that's a fair offer, Miss Burke.
20:20After all, you must consider the fact that I have quite an investment here.
20:23Those posters, advertising, etc., etc.
20:25And to think we've been knocking ourselves out day and night.
20:30It's a deal!
20:37Don't it look great, Miss Bumgert?
20:39Thanks to you, Hazel.
20:40How could I ever repay you?
20:42Oh, don't worry about that.
20:43Can we come up now?
20:50Okay, come ahead.
20:52First time I ever had to go up to the attic for a birthday present.
20:55I've never seen it.
20:57A pool table!
20:58Happy birthday!
21:00What, Barbara?
21:01This is the greatest!
21:03How did you ever get...
21:04Oh, boy, a pool table!
21:06Thanks to Aunt Hazel's chili sauce.
21:08Happy birthday!
21:13Hazel, how can I thank you?
21:17Well, aren't you going to try it out?
21:19I sure am!
21:21Frank, grab a cue!
21:22Oh, boy, you know, wait till Mona gets back from that women's club meeting.
21:26I'm going to remind her what she bought me for my birthday.
21:28A waffle iron.
21:30Oh, well, maybe she was paying you back for what you gave her on her birthday.
21:33A vacuum cleaner.
21:35All right.
21:36No lagging for break, Steve.
21:37It's your birthday.
21:39Be my guest.
21:39All right.
21:40It really takes three to make it interesting.
21:44What about you, Miss Barbara?
21:46Oh, not me.
21:47I don't know a thing about pool.
21:49Well, how about you, Hazel?
21:50Oh, yeah, a little.
21:52Okay, I'll play with you.
21:56All right.
21:57What are you going to play for, Steve?
21:58Well, how about call shot?
21:59Uh, ten cents a ball?
22:01Yeah, that sounds all right to me.
22:02Stakes a little too high for you, Hazel?
22:05Oh, no.
22:06No, anything you gentlemen want to play for.
22:09Okay, everybody stand aside, please.
22:12Let an expert show you how to play this game.
22:19Oh, a real hustler, huh?
22:25You really leave a guy with a shot, don't you?
22:27Well, when I play for money, I play for money.
22:29Okay.
22:31Three ball in the corner pocket.
22:42Oh, uh, Hazel, you're supposed to, uh, chalk the Q-tip.
22:46See?
22:47Like that?
22:47Oh, thanks.
22:49Oh, uh, one more thing.
23:00In, uh, in call shot, you're supposed to call the ball you hope to drop in a pocket.
23:05Oh, yeah.
23:06Yeah, I forgot.
23:07Oh.
