# In Pawn

Inspired by "Lives of the Saints", fat, lazy, good-for-nothing Harvey Redding decides to give up the junk-collecting business, and become a Saint. Meanwhile, deeply in debt to his sister, he has left his son Lem with her ("in pawn") until he is able to pay her back. (Summary by Dale Barkley)
