It's Mom and Dad's anniversary, and Dad has bought Mom an extra special gift, a diamond ring. While Mom is out, George insists on helping to hide the gift. When trying to hide the ring in the bathroom medicine cabinet, the ring accidentally falls down the drain. So being the size he is, George goes down after it.
