The copper mine co-owned by Polly and Mr. King has not yielded any copper, and the stress has left King bedridden.

Ben accidentally causes a cave-in, trapping his sisters and brothers.

Reception

[edit]

On March 6, 1940, Variety wrote, "More fatal about the second Pepper story is its tediousness and with one or two exceptions, the dullness of the characters. Weak."[1]
