However, lawyer Clifton Hill "C Denier Warren" arrives to inform Mrs Riley that she has been left the laundry in a relative's will. And, when daughter Kitty "Kitty McShane" gets fired from her position at St Mildred's School for Young Ladies, Old Mother Riley mortgages the laundry to buy the school from headmistress Miss Carruthers "Enid Hewitt", outbidding potential buyer Lady Gertrude Meersham "Ethel Royal" by sixpence. However, the school's French mistress, Mlle Leblanc "Jenny Mathot", is in league with crooks who were planning to buy the school, because a railway branch line is proposed which will go right through it. They set fire to the school in order to buy it cheap. But Mr Hill has discovered that the branch line will now go through the laundry instead, so Old Mother Riley and Kitty sell the school to the crooks for £5,000 more than they paid, knowing that they'll also get money for the laundry.
