When Ned is temporally laid off as the mine puts in new electric wires, Nellie thinks about getting a job. But Ned, due to his pride and ego, strongly opposes her choice to look for work. Meanwhile, Miss Harper sets up a reading class at the mine and tries to persuade Stringy to attend, which puts him at odds with Spider and the other illiterate pit boys who resent education.
