Synopsis In the small Vermont town of Silver Creek in 1933, six residents find themselves in some kind of a predicament because the government had declared a bank holiday to put a stop to the runs on banks across the country. By a curious turn of events, ten $100 bills are put in an inn's safe. Innkeeper Horace Taylor finds them and concludes they are payments from his debtors. He immediately pays off his own debts -- only to be told later by his clerk, Uncle Ed, that the money belonged to a guest at the inn. Taylor begins a frantic effort to trace and regain the money, which is merrily circulating around the town, solving the immediate problems of storekeeper J. J. Johnson, his landlady, Geraldine Atherton, a lawyer, Tom O'Connor and his wife Audrey, and an artist, Waldo Williams and his fiancée Francie Taylor, the inn-keeper's daughter. Plus, two bootleggers are conducting their own search for the money. As Taylor trails the elusive money, the individual dramas of the various possessors are revealed. "Money is like blood, it needs to circulate," says Uncle Ed.
