Sunny wants Teddy to take her to a moonlight sail party, but he doesn't have enough money for the ticket. Sunny decides they can sell the old papers in her basement, but it rains and the junk man's assistant pays for the wet papers by weight. Earlier, Sunny's mother discovered wolf whistles and is feeling suspicious of boys. She overhears the junk many accusing Teddy of being a thief over the wet papers, and forbids Sunny to see him. At the advice of Richy, Teddy tries to get Sunny's attention with a wolf whistle, but attracts the attention of Ginny instead, leading to a fight between the girls. Richy explains that Teddy was practicing a call for Sunny later on, which means that he actually has to do it to prove the story to Ginny. Ginny tries to set it up so Teddy is heard by Sunny's father. This works, but Sunny's mother is also nearby and thinks her husband was whistling after girls. She tells Sunny she can go because it's Mr. Sender she has to look out for.
