A typical dinner out with the Hubbards and the Buells ends with Roger (Roger C. Carmel) not paying his fair share of the $38 check, plus $6 tip. Herb (Herbert Rudley) is furious with his "tightwad" neighbor and plans to win back the money playing golf and gin rummy. Instead, Herb loses more money. Soon, the tension has involved Eve (Eve Arden) and Kaye (Kaye Ballard). Each takes her husband's side and 20 years of friendship goes down the drain. For this one, Jackie Gleason's "Honeymooners" writer Sydney Zelinka recycles situations and ideas very well, showing an understanding of Desi Arnaz' comedy and his characters. While derivative, it's still funny.
