Interesting how quickly Elisabeth and Rodger figure out that Burke would try to poach there employees. 

I wonder how novel a profit sharing systems was back when this show aired?  It’s possible the idea has been around for decades, but it seems so modern too me. 

Burke really tried for the carrot and the stick approach with the threat that they wouldn’t get a job when there cannery goes out of business.

     Burke’s latest dastardly scheme is to buy the Logansport cannery and run Elizabeth out of business. Elizabeth finds out and Roger is very nonchalant about it. He’s more concerned with getting Elizabeth to oust Vickie with some ludicrous reasoning such as Vickie hates David.
    At the hotel, Blair tells Burke that Logansport failed due to Elizabeth’s superior ability and crew. Burke plans to highjack the crew. The motley crew arrives. Elizabeth is informed and tells Burke she’ll stop him.
