In the main story, Willy gets into mischief at a circus after sneaking away from school; when a truant officer arrives searching for him, Willy hides among the circus animals and performers, leading to comedic chaos involving elephants and attempts to evade capture. The story includes a subplot where Willy and a friend dress as bears to scare people, and ultimately Willy must face consequences when his father learns about his truancy and circus antics.
When Willy Nilly receives a Junior Detective outfit as a gift, he and his monkey pal Bobo eagerly set out to prove themselves as real investigators—and when they spot a newspaper headline about valuable art objects disappearing from the mansion of Cyrus Van Swank, the self-proclaimed "Eagle-Eye Nilly" can't resist taking the case. What follows is a chaotic romp through the Van Swank mansion involving sleepwalking, mistaken identities, and a pair of hapless officers named O'Hara and O'Mara, as Willy and Bobo stumble their way toward uncovering the truth behind the mysterious thefts.
Wendy heads into Brambly Woods on a mission to capture forest creatures for her school's nature museum, but her hunt takes a wild turn when she stumbles into Mr. Mooney's cabin—where Willy and Lester are plotting to scare her with a bear costume prank. When the joke backfires and things get genuinely chaotic, Wendy discovers that Mr. Mooney has a real bear cub named Skipper who needs a home, leading to an unexpected solution for everyone involved.
Bobo the monkey has a weakness for bananas, and when he refuses to resist temptation one too many times, he finds himself on the run—first fleeing to the North Pole, then tangling with the law. After a series of misadventures that lead him straight to the judge's chambers, Bobo's only hope for staying out of jail rests on his friend Willy Nilly. A three-page romp through classic cartoon mischief, "Yes, We Have No Bananas" proves that sometimes a monkey's dream is worse than the truth.
When Willy Nilly sneaks away from school to watch the circus set up in town, he and his monkey friend Bobo end up caught red-handed by the truant officer—and grounded by his father, with the circus off-limits. Desperate to see the big top before it leaves town, Willy and Bobo sneak into the circus that night, only to tumble straight into chaos that nobody quite expected. It's a mischief-filled romp where a boy's love of the circus and his father's secret dream collide in the most accidental way possible.
