Lassie #58

In "Picaro's Big Day," Lassie and Timmy come to the aid of Mike and his spirited pet raccoon, Picaro, after the young boy and his animal friend are threatened by a tough group of bullies. When Mike and his family move away, Timmy takes on the responsibility of caring for Picaro, whose playful antics soon lead to chaos in the Martin household—until a surprising turn of events in the barn, involving a sleeping tramp and a stolen pie, unexpectedly earns the raccoon a hero’s welcome.

In "School of Survival," Blaze, now part of a desert herd led by the wise Old Silversides, learns the rhythms of the harsh landscape—how to find nourishment in tough plants and conserve water. When a sudden tornado rolls in, the burros seek shelter in the rocks, but Blaze stays behind, drawn to the storm’s power—only to be thrown off balance and left seeking comfort from the very leader who taught her to survive.

In "Antlered Fury," young Timmy uses his new movie camera to capture a tense moment in the forest: two bucks locked in struggle, one felled by a poacher’s bullet. As the surviving buck breaks free and turns on the hunter, Timmy must think fast to protect the man—while risking his own safety—before Lassie returns with Paul and the Game Warden. The film, silent but damning, holds the truth the poacher can’t deny.
