This issue contains two main stories. In the first, a character seeks tomato juice as a cure for an order and drives through the city at night searching for a delicatessen, eventually stopping at one to purchase ten quarts. In the second story, "Li'l Genius," a boy causes trouble by writing insulting messages on public property; when caught, he is forced to wash off the signs. A separate story, "Atomic Mouse: There Are Ways and Ways," features Atomic Mouse trying to find a birthday present for someone's mother without spending money, ultimately deciding to rake leaves on the lawn as a gift, though the results backfire when a meteor crashes down.

Clarence is tired of going unrecognized for all the work he does around the house—keeping the furnace running, balancing the budget, tending the garden—only to watch others take the credit, so he decides to quit the family for good.
