During Good Neighbor Week, Kathy decides to welcome a sweet-seeming elderly neighbor, Mrs. Pringle, with a basket of soup and jam—but her kindly gesture goes hilariously sideways when she and Hank stumble into a brawl with some tough characters at the house. When Kathy later agrees to safeguard a mysterious "family keepsake" for the gracious Mrs. Pringle, a federal agent shows up at her door with shocking news: she's been harboring evidence of a counterfeiting ring. Now Kathy and Hank have to track down their charming neighbor before she disappears, all while trying to clear their own names.

By the next day, Chester's club membership is secure, though not quite in the way he expected.
