Tuffy plays matchmaker when she learns that the new boy's older brother is looking to meet someone, and she knows just the girl for the job—her sister! Will this setup lead to romance, or will Tuffy's well-intentioned scheming backfire in this lighthearted tale from 1949?

When Absent-Minded Albert joins Tuffy and friends for a baseball game, his notoriously forgetful nature becomes the source of mayhem—he can't even remember what season it is!

When a boy named Freddy decides that girls are unfair and swears off looking at them entirely, he takes his vow to absurd extremes—covering his eyes whenever any girl passes by.

When Tuffy encounters a talking beetle who claims to be Prince Oscar of Bunkelvania, transformed by a wicked witch's spell, she sets out to help restore him to his true form—though convincing her family and friends that fairy tales can really happen proves trickier than expected. As Tuffy tries to track down the prince and rally support for his rescue, the beetle keeps disappearing at the most inconvenient moments, distracted by the simple pleasures of garden life. By the time anyone might actually believe her incredible story, Prince Oscar has made a surprising discovery about his enchanted existence.

When a starry-eyed newcomer to the neighborhood catches sight of Tuffy, he becomes absolutely smitten—and launches into a hilarious series of schemes to win her attention, from the direct approach to serenading, none of which go quite as planned.

Tuffy stumbles lost into the woods and discovers a house belonging to the Three Bears—just like in the Goldilocks tale he once read. When the bears return home to find their kitchen ransacked and furniture broken, Tuffy frantically tries to convince them he's not the culprit, but the resemblance to that famous story makes for a humorous case of mistaken identity.
