Citizens of Bedford Falls stand outside of the Bailey Building & Loan Offices in the rain during a bank run. Potter took advantage of the bank run by offering to buy Building and Loan shares at "50 cents on the dollar" (half price), thereby assuring people of at least getting half their money. George Bailey prevented this by funding withdrawals with his honeymoon stash, and the Bailey Buildings and Loan survived to fight Potter another day. |
