John-Boy becomes a rent collector for a neglectful, dishonest landlord, Graham Foster. Actually collecting any money is a problem though, because the tenants don't have any money. They also point out to John Boy, the repairs which need doing around the houses. When John Boy alerts Mr Foster to these complaints though, he is given the sack without his pay. John Boy and Jason plot a scheme to earn John Boy's wages and get back at Mr Foster at the same time.
