In the main story, Freddy's car breaks down on the way to a picnic, stranding him and his friends. When he mentions an old bicycle that belonged to the American Bicycle Company, Peggy becomes interested in starting an American Bicycle Club, which would offer members registration, membership pins, cards, and other official benefits. The story also includes a "Gag Time!" feature depicting a man daydreaming of commanding a sailing ship while trapped in a bottle. Additionally, the issue promotes coupons worth $3 in merchandise and advertises a new contest for readers.
Freddy is tired of being pushed around by the school's top athlete, Biff Collins—especially in front of the girls—so he decides to transform himself through rigorous training into a muscular powerhouse. When he finally confronts Biff at the school dance, things take an unexpected turn that leaves Freddy looking like the victor, though his newfound confidence may be built on shakier ground than he realizes. It's a lighthearted romp through teenage ego, athletic ambition, and the gap between perception and reality.
Freddy's world turns upside down when he hears that Peggy has fallen for a new neighbor, John Steele—so he concocts an elaborate scheme to scare her away by spreading vicious rumors about the mysterious newcomer. When John finally arrives with his granddaughter Marilyn in tow, Freddy's carefully laid plans collide with reality in the most humbling way possible.
