☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeLittle Ike and his friend Bobby embark on a treasure hunt, obtaining a map of Kentucky from a man named Steve that shows the location of buried treasure marked at Fort Knox. Excited by the map's red and blue lines, the boys gather supplies including a shovel and tape measure to begin their search. Meanwhile, in a separate story, Little Ike joins a musical band as a vocalist under the stage name "Patti Peach" after being rejected from another group, and the "Scrape Bang" performs on Main Street where they attract a crowd. A third story depicts Little Ike in a humorous tug-of-war with a boy named Spike, where Ike's strength and cunning allow him to outwit and ultimately pull Spike over a line after tying the rope around his wrist.
When Little Ike joins Butch, Spike, and the other kids in a rousing game of "Follow the Leader," he discovers that keeping up with the more experienced players means facing some pretty tricky—and occasionally painful—challenges. As the competition heats up and the stakes get higher, Little Ike shows he's got more tricks up his sleeve than anyone expected, leading to a wild race that teaches everyone a lesson about fair play. It's a lighthearted romp that proves sometimes the smallest player can outsmart the biggest bullies.
When Hot-Rod and Nipper decide they need to make it big before they're too old, they hit on the perfect scheme: start a hillbilly band using whatever instruments they can scrounge up. They recruit Cindy Klotz—rechristened as the stage name Patti Peach—as their vocalist, and the motley crew takes to the streets to find fame and fortune, one serenade at a time. What unfolds is a comedy of errors as the kids discover that "making the grade" in show business might be trickier (and cheaper) than they bargained for.
Little Ike and his pal Nipper decide to teach the school bully Spike a lesson after he won't stop pestering them in summer class. When Spike boasts he can pull both boys in a tug-of-war with one hand, they set up a clever trap involving a delivery truck—with unexpected results. It's a humorous tale of how even the smallest kids can outsmart a troublemaker when they work together.
Little Eva sets up shop as a fortune teller called Madame Eva, and when a neighborhood boy named Hot-Rod gets drenched by a prediction that comes true, he and his friend decide to play a prank on her. Eva vows revenge through the mysterious powers of her gypsy act, enlisting her friend Cindy in a scheme to teach the troublemakers a lesson. This 1953 humor tale captures the spirited mischief and one-upmanship that made Little Eva such a fun read.
Little Ike and Bobby set out to hunt for buried treasure armed with a map, a tape measure, and a shovel, following clues that might lead them somewhere extraordinary. When their search efforts turn up real money hidden in the bushes, they discover the fortune belongs to a man claiming to be a bank president—though he's not quite what he seems. Officer Mulligan arrives to reveal the truth and reward the enterprising young treasure hunters.
