Heading for Heaven plot
"Everybody's Laughing at "Henpecked Henry""
For three generations, the fathers in the Elkins family have been telling their sons never to sell a piece of land on the east side of Elkinsville because one day the village will expand eastward. By 1948, the city only continued to expand westward, but the last descendant Henry Elkins still refuses to sell his inherited land. Though his wife Nora begs him to accept the highest bid for the land, Henry is determined to build what he calls a "poor man's paradise" of affordable housing. But the latest offer for Henry's land comes from Chicago's National Transit Airways, who hope to build an airport there.
