00:00Well, it looks as though Daddy, played by Hanley Stafford, might get rich.

00:10He has discovered a notice in the newspaper calling for the missing heirs of a rich man

00:14by the name of Higgins, and Daddy thinks he may be related.

00:17So right now, we find him hard at work trying to trace his family tree.

00:21Listen.

00:22Ah.

00:23I have no idea my family went that far back.

00:26Now, if I can only prove a claim to the old man's fortune...

00:30Oh, boy.

00:30Hello, Daddy.

00:32Oh, Snooks, you should be in bed.

00:34What are you doing, Daddy?

00:35I'm looking at some books on genealogy.

00:37Jimmy who?

00:38Not Jimmy.

00:40Genealogy.

00:41Geneia birth, ology, discourse.

00:43It's taken from the Greek.

00:45Which Greek?

00:46Any Greek.

00:47Parky carcass?

00:49Now, what's parky carcass got to do with this?

00:51I don't know.

00:53Genealogy is an account or history of the descent of a person or family from an ancestor.

00:57I'm looking up my family tree.

00:59Why?

01:00To find my origin.

01:02Is it an orange tree?

01:04Not orange tree.

01:05I said origin.

01:06Origin.

01:06Understand?

01:08Understand.

01:09So what did I say?

01:11Oranges.

01:12All right.

01:13So I said oranges.

01:14Now, go to bed.

01:15I want an orange.

01:16You can't have any oranges.

01:18Will you go to bed?

01:18Let me finish my work.

01:20What's in the books, Daddy?

01:21I just told you.

01:23It's the history of all the Higginses.

01:25It tells about my forefathers.

01:27Did you have forefathers?

01:29Why, certainly.

01:31Did you have four mothers, too?

01:33No, I didn't have four mothers.

01:34I had one mother.

01:36Did they all live together?

01:38Who?

01:40Your one mother and your forefathers.

01:42My mother had nothing to do with my forefathers.

01:45Didn't she like them?

01:46Certainly she liked them.

01:47Then why didn't she have nothing to do with them?

01:50She never met them.

01:51When I say forefathers, I don't mean forefathers.

01:57Nobody has forefathers.

01:58But everybody has forefathers.

01:59They don't have to be a father at all.

02:02You feel all right, Daddy?

02:03I knew that was funny.

02:06Don't ask me to explain anything else.

02:09Why?

02:10Because you never listen to anything I tell you.

02:11I'll listen, Daddy.

02:13Well, it's very simple.

02:14The forefathers I'm referring to are my ancestors.

02:19They all bore the name of Higgins, and they were my progenitors.

02:22Savvy?

02:22Savvy.

02:23Thank heaven.

02:25You had forefathers, and they were all genitors.

02:29That's fine.

02:30Now you're going to bed.

02:31Good night.

02:32I'm staying here.

02:33Look here, Snokes.

02:36Now, listen.

02:36This work I'm doing tonight may mean an awful lot to you.

02:39Why?

02:40Because if I can prove I'm related to a certain man, we'll be rich.

02:44Which man?

02:45An eccentric millionaire who died two weeks ago.

02:49His name was Lockstep Higgins.

02:51Lockstep Higgins?

02:52That's right.

02:54It's a very odd first name, and that's the one thing that leads me to believe he's a kinsman.

02:58Why?

02:58Well, it's a characteristic trait of our family to give unique first names.

03:02That explains your uncle, Camembert, and your little brother, Ropespear.

03:08What explains me?

03:11The less said, the better.

03:13Anyway, the name seems to be a clue.

03:15What's your name, Daddy?

03:16Oh, you know my name, Snokes.

03:18Now, right out.

03:19You do, too.

03:19What does Mother call me?

03:21Pinhead.

03:22She does not.

03:24Don't remind me of it.

03:26My name happens to be the only departure from the list of curious names in our family.

03:30Tell me your name, Daddy.

03:32It's Lancelot Bottlecap Higgins.

03:34And you needn't act as if you didn't know.

03:37I knew the Lancelot, but I didn't know about Bottlecap.

03:41Well, I don't use my middle name very often.

03:45I like it.

03:47Bottlecap, Bottlecap.

03:48Where have you been?

03:50I've been to...

03:51All right, all right.

03:53Now, the main thing is to try and get a portion of the old man's money.

03:56It's over five million dollars.

03:57How do you know?

03:58He left a will.

04:00Will Higgins?

04:01No.

04:02Will.

04:02Last will and testament.

04:04It's a paper you signed that allows somebody to get all the money you've made.

04:08Did you sign a will with money?

04:10What do you mean?

04:11Well, if you take the salary...

04:12I know, I know.

04:15I haven't seen the inside of my pay envelope for nine years.

04:17Like being married to an installment company.

04:20Huh?

04:20Nothing.

04:21But wait till I get my hands on this dough.

04:23Are you going to get it, Daddy?

04:25I don't know.

04:26I haven't been able to trace any family connection with this lockstep Higgins yet.

04:30I'll help you look.

04:31I've been all through my side of the family.

04:33Mm-hmm.

04:33Now I'm going to find out what's on mother's side.

04:35I know what's on mother's side, Daddy.

04:37Oh, what?

04:38A mustard plaster.

04:40I seen the pudding there.

04:41I'm not talking about that at all.

04:43I've got to look through her lineage.

04:46The clean ones?

04:47Oh.

04:49Hand me those papers.

04:51What's in this big book, Daddy?

04:53That's an old family album.

04:55Well, let me see it.

04:55There might be something in it.

04:57Let me see it.

04:58Yeah.

05:00Look at the funny pictures.

05:02Oh, what's funny about them?

05:03Mm-hmm.

05:04They're just wearing old-fashioned clothes, that's all.

05:06But you can see that every member of my family was an aristocrat.

05:10A rusticrat?

05:12Aristocrat.

05:13Huh.

05:14Plenty of blue blood in my veins.

05:16Is there?

05:16Why, certainly.

05:17I let you in on a little secret, Snooks.

05:20I come from a family of peers.

05:23I won't tell nobody, Daddy.

05:25Oh, I'm proud of it.

05:26Why?

05:27Why?

05:28Look at the picture of this fine old gentleman, one of my great-grandfathers.

05:31This was taken when he was made a knight.

05:33How did he look in the daytime?

05:35He looked fine.

05:37Queen Elizabeth made him a knight.

05:38She gave him the order of the bath.

05:41Did he take it?

05:42Why, of course.

05:44It's a great honor.

05:46He was only 30 years old at the time, and he never expected to get the order of the bath.

05:50He never got it before?

05:52Of course not.

05:52He must have been awful dirty.

05:56The order of the bath is a title.

05:58It's like being a prince.

06:00Oh.

06:01Who is this one, Daddy?

06:04Oh.

06:05Well, we, uh, we never speak of him.

06:09He was my father's uncle.

06:11Now, let me tear up that picture, Snooks.

06:12Is that the one who was the bearded lady in the circus?

06:16Yes, he ran away.

06:16How did you know?

06:18Mommy shows it to everybody.

06:19Oh, she does, eh?

06:21Well, I'll go around showing pictures of her relatives.

06:23If I can get them out of the rogues' gallery.

06:26I want to see them, Daddy.

06:27Never mind.

06:28Oh, what's that you got in your hand?

06:29It's a funny picture with writing on it.

06:31Let me see it.

06:32Yeah.

06:33To Cousin Flyleaf.

06:34Oh, that's my father.

06:37From Cousin Lockstep Higgins.

06:39Lockstep!

06:40Why, that's the guy.

06:41Who?

06:41The millionaire.

06:43Snooks, we're rich.

06:44Are we?

06:44I'll inherit a fortune.

06:46Where's that lawyer's phone book?

06:47Here, let me get her that phone.

06:48Here, Daddy.

06:49Hello, hello.

06:51Get me fuller.

06:514-0-1-0-1.

06:53Oh, I knew that Lockstep would be a member of my family.

06:55He had brains.

06:56Why?

06:57Why, he must have had brains to make five million dollars.

06:59That's the stuff us Higgins are made of.

07:01It runs in the family.

07:02Runs in the family?

07:03Oh, you bet.

07:04We're all alike.

07:05Every one of us.

07:06Oh, hello.

07:07Look, this is Lancelot Higgins calling about the...

07:10Huh?

07:11What?

07:12He didn't leave a cent.

07:14But the will!

07:17Oh.

07:19He was nuts, eh?

07:22It runs in the family, Daddy.

07:26I see.

07:28Goodbye.

07:29Well, that's that.

07:32The old loon was broke.

07:34Everything happens to me.

07:36Go to bed, Daddy.

07:37Okay.

07:38Good night, Snooks.

07:40Good night.

07:41Poor Daddy.

07:42And then.

07:43Ah!

07:44Ah!

07:45Ah!

08:02Ah!

08:04Ah!

08:05Ah!

08:06Ah!

08:06Daddy!

08:15What is it, Snooks?

08:16I want to sing.

08:17I've told you a thousand times you can't sing on this program.

08:20Why?

08:21Because Connie Boswell is good enough to do all the singing around here.

08:23Now you just behave yourself.

08:25I'll be good if you give me some money.

08:28Oh, you will, eh?

08:29Well, you'll be good without money.

08:31You want me to be good for nothing?

08:33Never mind that.

08:34Come on, we're going home.

08:35No, wait a minute, Daddy.

08:37Oh, Miss Colbert, how do you do?

08:39I'd like to meet this little angel of yours.

08:41Why, certainly.

08:44As Snooks, this is Miss Claudette Colbert.

08:47Say, how do you do?

08:48How do you do, Mrs. Colbert?

08:51How do you do?

08:53Snooks, I just heard you ask your daddy for some money for good behavior.

08:57Do you always do that?

08:58Mm-hmm.

08:59Money never gives me any.

09:01Well, I don't think it's very nice.

09:03Tell him, Mrs. Colbert.

09:05I mean, asking for money isn't very nice.

09:08Oh.

09:09Only greedy little girls do that.

09:11What's greedy?

09:12Oh, she's not really greedy, Miss Colbert.

09:14I think I can show you.

09:15How?

09:16Well, I'll let her choose between this dollar bill and this dime.

09:20See which one she takes.

09:21Oh, Snooks.

09:22Yes, Daddy?

09:23See what I have in my hand?

09:25Mm-hmm.

09:26Which one do you want?

09:27The silver one.

09:28Hey.

09:29What did I tell you?

09:30Wrap it up in that green paper.

09:35I see what you mean, Daddy.

09:41Now, Snooks, I want to tell you a story about a greedy little boy.

09:46Where is he now?

09:47Well, right now he's in heaven with the angels.

09:49Do men ever go to heaven?

09:51Why, of course men go to heaven.

09:53Why do you ask such a silly question?

09:54Well, I've seen lots of pictures of angels.

09:58Yes.

09:59But I've never seen an angel with wiskets.

10:01Well, that's true, Snooks.

10:04Men go to heaven, but they get there by a very close shave.

10:07Oh, that's a great one, isn't it, Snooks?

10:11No.

10:13Tell me the story about the greedy boy.

10:16Very well.

10:17There was once a little boy, and he threatened his mother,

10:19that unless she gave him a dollar, he put ink in the goldfish bowl.

10:23Oh, I don't know.

10:27Well, this little boy's mother gave him a dollar not to do it because she was so tired.

10:32Uh-huh.

10:32The minute he got his hands on the money,

10:34the little boy ran to the candy store and bought ten big bags of candy.

10:39That's a minskets?

10:40Gumdrops.

10:41Oh, I like that.

10:44The greedy little boy went off by himself and started to devour this enormous amount of candy.

10:51He ate five whole bags, six bags, seven bags, eight bags.

10:55He finished eight bags of that candy.

10:58And then?

10:58And then he burst in two.

11:00Oh.

11:01Now, that's a very sad little story, and I hope it'll teach you that it doesn't pay to be greedy.

11:05It does make you stop and think, doesn't it?

11:07Uh-huh.

11:08Now, what are you thinking?

11:10Where's the other two bags of gumdrops?

11:12That's enough.

11:13Come on, Stoke.

11:13We're going.
