Little Eva encounters a baby in the water who is struggling and gasping; when she attempts to help, the baby's hat blows away. Eva tries to retrieve the hat but is swept away by the current herself, prompting a lifeguard to intervene and rescue her. In a separate story titled "Short Stuff in 'The Giant,'" a boy in a green hat faces a series of misadventures involving oversized everyday objects—including being pelted by giant raindrops and nearly trampled by giant mushrooms—before encountering giants who offer him shelter.

Eva challenges her friends to prove they’re not afraid of ghosts by facing the haunted house on Greene Street, but when they try to scare her with a prank using sheets and a closet, things take an unexpected turn. The boys are stunned when Eva calmly reveals the "ghost" was just a mouse — and then they’re left scrambling when she shows up unharmed, laughing at their fear.

Shine and a Haircut, Two Bits

A young boy named Ike, self-conscious about his growing hair, gets an unexpected haircut from his friend Nipper, who insists on using the full 75¢ for a "complete service."

Little Eva and her friend Nipper sneak into a jewelry shop during a fun festival, pretending to be a crook and a cop to scare each other—until they accidentally scare the real principal, Mr. Hodges, who’s hiding from his wife. When the prank spirals into a real-life misunderstanding, Eva and Nipper must help clear up the confusion before the police arrive.
