Plot

Larry is ready to give up on being "good" when an act of goodness makes him miss out on new collectible toy he really wants. Lunt tries and fails to solve Larry's problem with a new product, "Mr. Lunt's Robot Call," then Pa Grape steps in and tells a Western version of the parable of the Foolish Rich Man from Luke 12. In the end Bob and Larry learn that doing things God's way might lead to some bad days, but ultimately leads to the happy ending we all REALLY want.
