A boy shows up with a black eye, and his father mistakes it for a fight wound—so he drags young Ollie to the gym for an intense training regimen to toughen him up. As the old man puts his son through exhausting exercises in hopes of turning him into a fighter, mishap after mishap leaves Pop himself battered and worn out, while energetic Ollie bounces back ready for more. By the time the truth comes out, there's a hilarious lesson in jumping to conclusions.
When Homer agrees to babysit young Ollie for a few hours, he thinks taking him to the tennis courts is the perfect way to keep him out of trouble—but Ollie's chaotic energy and innocent misunderstandings quickly turn the outing into a disaster. From mysterious beverages to wardrobe mishaps, Homer discovers that keeping Ollie under control is far harder than he bargained for in this 1964 comedy.

But what starts as pure humiliation takes an unexpected turn when a gust of wind transforms Randy's predicament into something that changes everything, setting off a chain reaction among his jealous friends.
