A young girl, determined to fish in the Arctic, confidently declares that to fish big, you must think big. She borrows an axe to chop a hole in the ice, convinced her big idea will lead to a big catch.
Little Rollo is thrilled to host a birthday party, but his mother insists on inviting only "nice" children, excluding his real friends like Rock.

Rock and Rollo, a young boy and his dog, find a pile of imitation jewels and decide to wear them, much to Rock’s delight despite his mother’s likely disapproval.

Rock and Rollo, a pair of young cowboys, find themselves at the Lazy-W Dude Ranch where a boastful newcomer claims to be the best cowboy around.

Rock, convinced by his mother that he must help his country during civil defense drills, declares he’ll stop playing and find a way to contribute.
