Synopsis
Danny gets annoyed at the imperious Mrs. Greenson, head of Kathy's ladies' club, when she suggests that Rusty is incapable of selling more raffle tickets than her son. Danny picks up the gauntlet and uses his nightclub act as a venue to help Rusty exceed all expectations. Danny and Kathy have second thoughts, however, when they consider that Danny's tactics give Rusty an unfair advantage and that Mrs. Greenson's son is very diligent and works tirelessly to sell his tickets.
