After a brief sales outing, Nutty encounters Tuffy and boasts about his new job and plans to use his earnings to buy college, but when Tuffy warns him the work might be too tough, Nutty insists he can handle it. The story concludes with Nutty getting into a skiing accident that leaves him bandaged and injured, at which point Tuffy expresses sympathy while reminding Nutty that he had warned him about the difficulty of the job. Additionally, the issue contains a brief gag story involving a character receiving a "dribble glass" as a gift, which causes chaotic results when the recipient spills water on an uncle's new jacket.
Nutty Squirrel spots a magazine sales job that promises to help him work his way through college—and earn enough for those pecan nuts he's been craving. Armed with subscription pamphlets and high hopes, he sets out to make his first sale, only to discover that landing customers is tougher than he bargained for.
Marmaduke Monk stops by the store for a quick errand, but a persistent shopkeeper keeps suggesting one item after another—from shoe polish to toothpaste—trying to get him to buy more than he came for. When the clerk questions why Marmaduke refuses toothpaste, the resourceful monkey offers an answer that's pure stubborn logic.
Two young fish, Hal and Sal, grow restless in their quiet little pond and venture downstream in search of excitement, only to discover that the wider world beyond holds dangers they never imagined. When they narrowly escape both a fisherman's hook and a predatory creature, they're forced to reconsider whether their humble home might have been worth more than they thought.
