"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.
Li'l Genius and Li'l Tomboy take on a job passing out free candy samples, eager to earn a few treats of their own—only to quickly find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of bars and their own growing hunger. As they test each one, their enthusiasm turns into a comical spiral of crunching, chewing, and increasingly desperate reports, all while the bag slowly empties.
Eddie Extra takes on Johnny’s paper route, delivering papers to eccentric subscribers like Miss Bird, a man living in a cave, and Mr. Van Dotty—whose house is clearly not for reading. As Tom handles each unusual stop, he’s surprised by the odd characters he meets, from a bear to a woman who’s very particular about her bird-watching column.
Li'l Rascal Twins and their father set off on a beach adventure, where they stumble upon a mysterious treasure chest buried by a man claiming to be a pirate. When the man leaves, the twins decide to dig up the chest, only to discover it's filled with money—leading to a series of playful pranks and a surprise twist involving a real criminal trying to hide stolen loot.
