Marx and Venus get a letter from the council about hard rubbish collection. Venus sees it as a chance to purge her junk filled room. Marx on the other hand sees it as a junk-collecting expedition. As a result, the flat is soon brimming with other people's trash including Venus' old kindergarten stool. Marx refuses to throw the stool out and Venus loses her cool. With an act of good will Marx proves that trash really can become treasure.
