Junior's mother is excited and nervous because the Women's Club is coming by to ask her to join after she's spent years trying to get in. She wants Junior (and Goofy) out of the way when they arrive. But Junior's running the school's junk drive, and has told everyone to put the junk they collect on his front lawn. He and Goofy try asking Tuffy for some scrap, and he's happy to oblige by punching Junior in the face. He says a fight is the only kind of "scrap" he'll give Junior. Meanwhile, Deena and her friend Gwenny are uncertain about putting junk on Junior's lawn, but go along with it and by the time the Women's Club arrives, the Hancocks' lawn looks awful. The ladies of the club decide to leave without speaking to Mrs. Hancock, but one of them tosses her old compact on the junk pile as they go. A policeman sees them and arrests them for dumping the junk, not believing it was there before. While the ladies are arguing with the judge, Junior runs up trying to find out why the cop hauled away his junk. He explains about the junk drive to benefit the needy children's camp, and the case is dismissed. The needy children's camp turns out to be a "very special project" of the Women's Club, and the impressed ladies head off to once again invite Mrs. Hancock to join the club, leaving Junior perplexed about exactly what just happened.
