- Jack takes the overgrown juvenile "Big Boy" with him when he goes to play with the other kids, and tries to get rid of the bumble-prone "Big Boy." However, the latter keeps turning up like a bad penny. At the "Beezer Club," "Big Boy" is too large to get inside the door. A storm comes up and the club-members are trying to get the roof papered before it hits, but a herd of goats eats it as fast as they put it on. Later, "Big Boy" breaks a store window and has to leaves his dog as payment.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- The home of the Riley family is starting another day. While Mike, the head of the house, is shaving, mother is trying to get breakfast for the kids, Jackie and "Big Boy." Jack is the champion eater of the family and after finishing his own oatmeal he absorbs that of "Big Boy" and then tries a third dish which he sees in front of the baby. It turns out to be father's shaving lather. Mother orders Jack to take "Big Boy" with him when he goes out to play. But Jack has other plans and tries to get out of it. "Big Boy" turns up like a bad penny and Jack has to take him along. At the "Beezer Club," the kids' hangout in an old barn, the doorman is measuring the "Beezers" of the applicants for membership. The length of the nose is basis for admission. "Big Boy's" nose falls an inch short of requirement but he digs up another boy with a nose an inch over length and passes in on the surplus. A storm comes up and the kids try to get tar paper on the roof before the rain starts but a flock of goats eat the tar paper faster than it can be put on the roof. While the rain comes through, "Big Boy" plays with his only friend, a mutt dog. After the rain, "Big Boy" sees a black cat and tosses a horseshoe over his shoulder to break the bad luck. Instead, it breaks a window. The owner insists on payment and the kids sell the dog to pay the bill. "Big Boy" is heart-broken and tries various ways to get the money to buy back his pet. They are unsuccessful and he finally sees a man purchase his friend. But the purchaser leaves the dog unguarded for an instant and it gallops off down the street, to join "Big Boy" again.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
