The ladies' lease is up for renewal and they present their landlord Mr. Tobey (Joseph Kearns, "Dennis the Menace") with a list of improvements they want. He denies them, instead saying he is raising their rent ten percent and is pleased when they threaten to move out. He gives them one week to decide, hoping they will leave. When Mr. Tobey begins showing the apartment to prospective tenant Mr. Peabody (Carter Mullally Jr.) the ladies point out all the things wrong. Mr. Peabody agrees to move in, if the improvements are made. Now the ladies search for another place to stay.
