Basil arranges to have some contractors come and put in a door; Sybil has told him to use Stubbs, but Basil, sure that he can save some money, hires a cheaper contractor. He and Sybil then go away for the weekend, leaving Polly in charge. She, however, hasn't been getting much sleep lately, and leaves Manuel in charge while she takes a nap. The contractors arrive, and, as Sybil predicted, make a total mess of the job, leaving Basil to hire the more expensive contractor to fix things up.
