Tired of Fibber ignoring his requests to make repairs to the shop he leases from McGee, Mr. Pritchard moves into a vacant storefront across the street.

When McGee learns that the gallery is really a shooting gallery and all his other tenants are threatening to move out, he's in a pickle - especially since the gallery owner refuses to move unless he's paid $300 in cash for the inconvenience he's been caused.
