Riley (Jackie Gleason) finds a box while riding the bus. He and Waldo (Bobby Jellison) open it to find an expensive silver fox fur wrap- what Peg (Rosemary Decamp) has always wanted. He plans to take it back to lost and found the next morning and returns home on what he has forgotten is Peg's birthday. She naturally assumes the box is her present and quickly opens it to jubilation. He now tries to figure out how to tell Peg. Meanwhile, he decides to place an ad in the newspaper about the lost fur that comically reads, "If you think that I found something that you lost, try to prove it." Riley, Waldo, and Gillis (Sid Tomack) conspire to stage a fake robbery to get the fur. When Peg finds the truth, Riley faces an uphill battle to patch things up.
