Stevie #1

When the school's swimming pool cracks right before the big water carnival, Stevie and the gang volunteer to patch it with cement—but they skip reading the directions on the barrel, leading to a hilariously waterlogged disaster. As the carnival gets underway, the kids' hasty repair job creates chaos that Principal P.U. Soggs won't soon forget. It's a cautionary tale about why instructions exist, served up with plenty of slapstick fun.

When a fortune teller promises that one of them will become a movie actress, Mazie and Jeanie spot a talent scout at a local film production and race to make their pitch—only to discover the Hollywood opportunity isn't quite what they bargained for. This 1952 teen tale delivers a clever sting when dreams of stardom collide with the real world, served up with plenty of comic confusion and a final twist that lands with a satisfying laugh.

When the class decides to give Miss Little a surprise birthday portrait, Stevie draws what he thinks is an honest likeness—but a couple of classmates have other plans, swapping it for his unflattering work just as the big reveal is about to happen. What starts as a well-meaning gift turns into pure chaos when Miss Little gets her eyes on the canvas, and Stevie has to scramble to set the record straight before the damage is done.

Mortie's got a problem: he's eaten so much of the diner's inventory that his boss demands he pay back the loss or lose his job, but Stevie has a clever scheme to save the day. When the girls of the gang bake up a batch of pies to sell and cover the debt, an unexpected twist involving some escaped zoo animals turns the whole situation on its head.
