The issue contains multiple stories featuring Peter Rabbit and supporting characters. "Cicero and Timmy" shows Cicero attempting to hypnotize a bird while Timmy watches, with Cicero planning mischief while the folks are away. "Uncle Ezra's Storyland" presents two origin tales: "Why the Crane Is Like He Is," explaining how the crane developed his long legs and neck due to his inability to fish in deep water, and "How the Porcupine Got His Quills," recounting how a porcupine gained his defensive spines after being bullied by forest animals. The final visible story involves conflict with a "medicine man" character, an enemy arrow attack on what appears to be a Native American settlement, and escape attempts by the characters.

Cicero discovers a hypnosis book and decides to test it on a passing bird—until he's interrupted by Timmy, who won't stand for being bullied. When Cicero tries to hypnotize his way out of trouble, he accidentally sends Timmy marching off a cliff, only to have his victim return as a vengeful ghost demanding food and service. Now the tables are turned, and Cicero finds himself at the mercy of the very mouse he was trying to dominate, with hilarious consequences erupting while the folks are away.

Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Hippo visit a spiritualist named Zemmo, hoping to contact her departed husband Joe—but the séance takes a chaotic turn when the "spirits" start behaving in decidedly un-ghostly ways. As Peter investigates the strange happenings behind the scenes, he uncovers what's really going on in Zemmo's magic act.

When a fishing trip down a wild river goes wrong, Sparky Smith and Cheeta find themselves mistaken for sky spirits by a Native American tribe—and tasked with curing their chief's terrible headache. What begins as a lucky escape from danger quickly becomes a race for freedom when a vengeful medicine man decides he wants revenge, sending our heroes fleeing through mountains and across crumbling ledges in this slapstick adventure.

Sunday Ride
