Ellen got $5,000 from the IRS, which is good. She thinks, however, that she owed them $1,200, which is bad. When she goes to the IRS office to ask, the agent assures her that she is actually owed $5,000. She should go out and spend the money with a clear conscience. But Ellen can't bring herself to do that, so she gives the money to a charity, Helping Hand. As Ellen's luck would have it, the IRS asks for the money back right after she gives it away, and Ellen is forced to try to get it back. In theory, that is easy, but it's a lot more difficult to actually do, especially when the money has turned into toys and a play center for disadvantaged children.
