Dogs Is Dogs

Weezer and Dorothy's stepmother is very domineering and mean to them but lavishes affection on her own son Sherwood. Sherwood tattles on Weezer for having Petey in his bed, and takes great glee in Weezer's spaking. Weezer socks him on the chin and winds up getting another spanking, saying that if his good-for-nothing father doesn't come home soon she'll send him away. Sherwood gets ham and eggs for breakfast, but Weezer and Dorothy get only mush. Stymie comes in and tricks Sherwood into cooking them ham and eggs by claiming that they talk while they're being cooked. Outside, Sherwood falls into the well. Weezer, Stymie and Dorothy rescue him, but Sherwood decides to get even with them for not pulling him out sooner. He tells the neighbor man that Petey killed one of his chickens, even though it was Sherwood's dog. The neighbor chases Petey all over the place shooting off his gun multiple times. A policeman puts a stop to it, but has to take Petey away because he has no license. Just when Weezer is most desperate, a nice rich lady comes buy and pays for the license for him. It turns out she's Weezer and Dorothy's rich aunt. She says that their father has been very sick, and she dresses them up and takes them away from their unhappy home.

Readin' And Writin'

It's the first day of school and all the kids make their way to the school house. Brisbain doesn't want to go, and when his mother tells him he could be President he says he wants to be a streetcar conductor. On the way he stops off at a blacksmith's shop. After Brisbain wises off, the blacksmith tells him of a wise kid who got expelled. But all he does is give Brisbain the notion to get expelled and lots of ideas on how to do it. He winds up pulling all his stunts, including throwing a huge wad of gum into the mouth of poor Sherwood who was reciting a sappy poem to the teacher. Finally Brisbain brings a mule into the classroom, and Miss Crabtree has had enough. Unless Brisbain recites Sherwood's poem, he will be expelled. Brisbain flat out refuses, and dances off and out of class. But he quickly realizes that with all the other kids in school that he has no one to play with. As he tries to keep himself occupied, the words "learn that poem" haunt him endlessly. Finally he gives in, sheepishly returns to class, and recites the poem to the endless jeers of his classmates.

Free Eats

The gang is getting all dressed up for a free picnic that the wife of the local mayoral candidate is throwing for needy kids. Elsewhere is a small band out outlaws, including the ringleader, his accomplice dressed up like his wife, and two dwarfs in baby clothes. They learn of the same picnic, and when the gang comes along, the ringleader sends the "babies" off with them. The babies taunt Stymie by talking to him, but when Stymie tells others in the gang no one believes him. At the party, all the needy kids are having the time of their lives, but the two babies are busy sneaking jewels from all the rich ladies. The babies sneak inside the house and crack the safe. Meanwhile all the ladies realize their jewels are missing. They're apprehended by the gang. Initially the cops think it's the gang who robbed everyone, but when Stymie jabs one of the babies with a hat pin, the dwarf shouts, "Ouch! I'll knock you...!" and the jig is up.

Choo Choo!

The gang is playing down by the train yard. Some orphans are on one of the trains, and when they change cars some of them decide to make their getaway. They find the gang and con them into switching clothes by telling them that they get all the cake and ice cream they want on the train. The gang eagerly takes the bait. By this time the train has left without them, and the gang is sent on the next train with a railroad employee who is none to happy about it. The gang are rowdy and out of control, driving all the rest of the passengers nuts. Things only get worse when everyone retires to the sleeper car. But it really gets out of control when a drunken novelty salesman distributes noisemakers and fireworks to all the kids. And if that isn't enough, Stymie goes to the baggage car to fetch Petey, and winds up releasing a whole barnyard full of animals. In the mayhem, a monkey lights a match and ignites all the fireworks. The next morning all the passengers hobble off the train like wounded soldiers. The railroad employee receives a telegram saying he has the wrong kids and he should bring them all back. It's more than he can take.

Spanky

Baby Spanky is in his bedroom being very cute. At breakfast we learn that we learn that the gang is giving a big show in the barn, and that Spanky is not to bother them. The gang gets ready for the show. We learn that Spanky's father is an old cheapskate who has tons of cash hidden away in the house but won't spend any of it on his family. The gang goes ahead with the show, but it's a bit of a flop and the audience throws eggs at them. Back in the house, Spanky is making a real mess out of the place. He discovers where his father has his money hidden, and starts throwing it out the window. Of course the audience runs outside and starts grabbing the cash. The father comes home and freaks out. When he chases the kids away he decides he's going to put his money in a good bank and spend some of it on his wife and kids.

The Pooch

Stymie, Spanky, and Petey are sitting at a lunch counter, but when the attendant figures out they have no money he gets rid of them. Stymie finds the rest of the gang hanging disparaging signs about him around the neighborhood because he stole their pie. He discovers that the dog catcher has captured all the gang's dogs, and when the dog catcher leaves his truck Stymie sets them free. The gang comes upon him with all their dogs and accuse him of trying to steal them. But Dorothy sets them straight and he's in good with the gang again. But in the mean time the dog catcher has nabbed Petey. Stymie is horrified, and the gang starts tearing the dog catcher's clothes and throwing vegetables at him, which only make the dog catcher all the more mad. The gang heads off to try to figure out how to get Stymie the $5 he needs to get Petey out. Stymie sits down to pray, and just then the wind blows a $5 bill out of a lady's hand. A policeman chases Stymie around, but he gets away. Stymie and the gang run to the pound, but they're too late. The evil dog catcher has already gassed Petey. But it turns out there was no gas, and not only is Petey alive, but he chases the dog catcher away.

Hook And Ladder

Due to a shortage of funds, men, and equipment, the local Fire Chief has called upon the general public to help fight fires. The gang has set up a whole fire station in their barn. But chief Dickey has to care for little Spanky, and give him his worm medicine every 15 minutes. They all lie down to sleep like real firemen and wait for a fire. The lookout spots fire engines leaving the station, and thinks that this is where the fire is. All the kids get up, don their gear, and hop in their fire vehicles. They get to the fires house discover that there is no fire, but then see smoke coming out of a nearby barn. Some of them fight the flames with hoses, but Stymie goes upstairs to investigate. He finds black powder and TNT, which he proceeds to throw out the window and cause explosions. Eventually his way is blocked and the throws a case out the other window, and is seen by real firemen who just happen to be nearby. When the firemen realize that the kids just put out a real fire, he says they'll be rewarded.

Free Wheeling

Dickie is a little rich kid with a chronic stiff neck and an overprotective mother. The doctors keep telling her that the boy should go out and play with other kids, but the mother won't hear of it. The gang has fabricated a taxi cab that is pushed by an old mule, and they give other kids rides around the neighborhood. Stymie gets called by his mammy to deliver some laundry to Dickey's house. He sneaks in to see Dickie and promises to give him some excitement. Meanwhile the mule has gotten drunk on rubbing alcohol, and as the gang takes Dickey for a ride the mule eventually breaks free. The gang run off to chase the mule, leaving Dicky and Stymie alone in the cab. They hitch a rope to a nearby truck and go for a real ride. But the cab, having no breaks, quickly finds a steep hill and rolls out of control. After a harrowing ride they ditch it in a hay stack. Moments later Dickie's parents show up and find that their boy is cured.

Birthday Blues

It's Dickie's mother's birthday, but his cold-hearted father forgot about it and doesn't care. She ordered a dress for herself, which has just arrived COD, but he makes her send it back. This makes her cry, and makes Dickie feel sad. He's determined to get her a gift himself, and finds a beautiful dress in the window of a secondhand shop, but it costs $1.98 and he doesn't have the money. Stymie says that their church makes a great big cake with prizes in it, and sells tickets. The kids try to bake a cake and make a real mess out of it. They put some prizes in, but when they're not looking Spanky dumps an old junk drawer full of stuff into it. The cake winds up being the behemoth of a monstrosity that is bulging on the sides and making noises like "Weep waaah, weep waaah." A bunch of kids comes in, but in the mean time Dickie has sold a pile of scrap for $2 and runs off to the secondhand store. Stymie brings out the cake, and it's not long before the kids rebel against the bogus prizes and trash the dining room. Dickie's father comes home to the God awful mess and chases the kids out. Dickie comes in with the secondhand dress in a box, and his father whips him good. His mother comes home and puts a stop to it, but then realizes what a disaster the house is. But Dickie explains it was so that he could buy her a present, and all is forgiven. Dickie's father even gets the giving spirit. The next day Dickie's mother puts on the dress and even wears it to church, but stumbles in the shoes that the salesman threw in for free.
