"My Little Margie: A Good Skate" follows Margie as she attempts to attract the attention of a handsome hockey player by learning to play hockey herself, recalling lessons from Canadian boys she knew. In another story, Freddy discovers criminals planning to hurt someone and reports them to the police, but the gang tracks him down; Freddy manages to evade them through a series of chases and confrontations, ultimately leading to their capture with the help of law enforcement.
Freddy accidentally breaks a Greek statue sent to him by a friend and panics when Mr. McHazy returns. To avoid getting in trouble, he hatches a plan to pretend the statue is still intact by covering himself in talcum powder and posing as the broken statue. When Mr. McHazy returns and notices something odd, Freddy must keep up the ruse while trying to hide his real identity.
Margie Albright decides to win Cliff’s attention by proving she can play hockey as well as he does, despite being a girl. She boldly joins his team’s game, impressing everyone with her skill—until the surprising twist that Cliff is actually the one who’s been playing the forward all along.
Freddy, dressed as a bum for the masquerade, is mistaken for a notorious criminal by two crooks who plan to rough him up. After a chaotic chase and a mistaken arrest, he’s cleared by the police—only to be chased again by Peggy, who thinks he’s still a bum, leaving him to explain his antics before she believes him.
