The issue contains two stories: "Li'l Rascal Twins" features the twins testing different candy pieces to ensure quality before giving them away to other children, but their plan backfires when a man they meet later reveals he has excellent taste in candy, prompting them to keep their remaining sweets for themselves. "Smarter Than an Owl" involves Pinkie Rabbit seeking advice from Old Oscar the owl about her troubles with Bucky Bunny, who was rude to her; Oscar counsels her about women, but Bucky later takes credit for generously helping Mrs. Beaver by delivering ice cream on her behalf without permission, and when Mrs. Beaver calls looking for payment, Uncle Ted Bear refuses credit—leading Bucky to realize he cannot profit from the deed. The second story concludes with the twins finding a buried treasure chest on a beach, which two men in hats attempt to claim, resulting in a chaotic confrontation over the newfound riches.
