When Lem fails to sell a load of pumpkins, his father (Fawcett) in desperation turns to bootlegging. Mrs. Blossom (Midgley) and Lem smell the bottles, and Pa Blossom drives Lem away. On the way to the station Lem conceives the idea of obtaining a corner on pumpkins and puts it over to the tune of thousands of dollars.
