Charles learns that his late Uncle Ned has left him an inheritance, and the Ingalls family finally feels rich. Charles spends and borrows against the money, and the family enjoys a taste of the good life.
Then the inheritance turns out to be nothing but worthless Confederate currency. With debts piling up and Mrs. Oleson ready to foreclose, the farm is in danger, and it takes some clever scheming by the townsfolk to save it.
