The story begins withSylvester finding himself the heir of his mistress' vast fortune. While his financial adviser,Elmer Fudd, is urging him toinvest his money, Sylvester is frightened he will simply lose his money. Meanwhile, his street cat friends are out to get the money for themselves, but Fudd manages to thwart each attempt, including the one from Charlie, a cat who pretends to be a salesman for a "silver cleaning liquid" of the Hi-Ho Silver Cleaning Company ofWalla Walla, Washington.
Finally, Fudd manages an extensive lecture on the benefits of good investment on theeconomy with aneducational film to illustrate the point. While Sylvester is not convinced, the cats outside see the film themselves and are persuaded to the point when Sylvester manages to get the money to them, they demand he give it over to Elmer for investment. A defeated Sylvester gives in and growls to the portrait of his mistress that his life would have been less complicated if she took her money with her.
