The Hartmoed draperies shop is in financial trouble and about to be auctioned. Ollie thinks his world is crumbling down, but grandpa sees a great opportunity. A clause in the sale of the family firm to the present owners gives relatives a preferential right to bid. Alderman Tulip weds the bad grandmother as dummy to bid against the united front grandpa organized to get the firm back cheap.
