Summary

  • Angelique, known as Angel, moves from France to the United States to marry American architect, John Smith. The newlyweds set up housekeeping in Los Angeles, California. She tries her best to be a good housewife but sometimes runs into problems as she learns English and adapts to her new life and culture. In this episode, Angel finds an envelope containing $50 in the grocery store parking lot. She wants to add it to the money they are saving for a trip to Hawaii, but Johnny wants to first attempt to find the person who lost the money. Angel, now worried that the money belonged to someone who could not afford to lose it, puts notices in all the newspapers and another at the grocery store. Three people show up at separate times, claiming to have lost the money. Angel reluctantly gives it to one well-dressed man, Johnny gives another $50 to an attactive young woman, and they both give another $50 of their Hawaii money to a poor, raggedy old man. When the delivery boy from the grocery store shows up claiming it, they give the last of their Hawaii savings to him, but it turns out the lost money is part of a game show stunt. Because Johnny and Angel were so honest, they are invited to appear on the game show and claim their prize, but it doesn't turn out exactly as they expect.
