The boys sleep overnight at the busstop so they can catch the first bus to the East River. After lugging a considerable load to the upper deck, they learn that Mickey has lost their money through a hole in his shoe. After bringing everything back down, he discovers he had put it in his other shoe. Various mishaps keep the bus from leaving this location, and when it finally starts moving, Spanky's drops his bag on the street. The conductor won't let him get it back, and when the bus runs it over, everything stops again to fix a flat tire.
