Summary
The youngest two Brady kids set out to become rich quick. Bobby sells Neat & Natural hair tonic, while Cindy raises rabbits to sell the babies, but the plans backfire on both of them. Bobby is able to sell only one bottle, and that's to his oldest brother Greg, who's about to graduate from high school. Unfortunately for Greg, the questionable styling aid turns his hair a shaggy tangerine shade just prior to graduation ceremony. And as it turns out, the company that Bobby sold the tonic for had only recently been closed down by FDA. With the high school graduation only hours away, Greg is forced to go to the beauty parlor to turn his hair back to normal before going to graduation.
Meanwhile, Cindy tries breeding two rabbits whom she names Romeo and Juliet, but unfortunately, she later learns that they are both male and thus can't have babies, and the pet shop owner she bought them from refuses to buy them back as he already has too many of them.
