Kraft Television Theatre (1947) - 3x52 - The Great Big Doorstep- Followmy.tv

The Crochets, a Cajun family who lives in the Louisiana bayou, are proud of the steps that they have salvaged from the river for their two-room shack, which houses a family of eight. ""The Commodore""is a lazy man, who presumably earns his living as a ditchdigger. Mrs. Crochet raises lilies in the swamp, hoping she will someday be able to sell them. They learn of the possibility of getting a larger home, one that will match their steps, if they can raise $60. They are sure of getting the money, but at the last minute their hopes are dashed when their sources prove unreliable. Then a florist from New Orleans appears and buys all of Mrs. Crochet's lilies, 7,000 at 2 cents each, saving the day.
