Irene continually whines that she has her heart set on a particular engagement ring but her boyfriend Bert can't afford it yet. She knows that Bert is saving up for it, but when he eventually gives her a ring, it's not the one she wanted. She angrily rejects it and breaks up with Bert for buying her a cheap imitation, only later discovering that he actually gave her a much more expensive ring.
