He explains his inspiration for the work being the experience of watching a boxing match on television but finding the newspaper print the next morning better capturing the exhilaration of the sport.
A nighttime driver is haunted by the ghost of a raccoon she hits with her car.
The Rascals have a boxing arena that could pack them in if they could find fighters who would actually mix it up. Harry and Farina notice a rivalry between two very large young kids, Joe and Chubby, that would fill the bill if only the two heavyweights would put aside their gentle natures. Farina gets an idea: tell each of the lads that the other will take a dive in the second round. So the fight begins and the stands are filled; but will the combatants actually throw a punch? Ernie has one more trick up his sleeve to get the fists flying and the crowd on its feet. Sweet science indeed.
Short comedy written by Karl Valentin
In a theater, a young dancer is performing a pirouette when the left spotlight suddenly fails. The right one still works, but it seems to be of no use to her. The director (O. E. Hasse) has no choice but to cancel the performance. Since a longer interruption would be costly, he quickly summons two experts – a journeyman and an apprentice (Karl Valentin and Liesl Karlstadt). He gives them the task of repairing the spotlight in five minutes. While the two don't appear to be the sharpest tools in the shed, they are the only people in the theater who know anything about spotlights.
While the other kids and animals find things to do on the farm, Farina becomes single-minded in his quest to do nothing at all.
When teenager Felix, from a deadbeat Brooklyn home, is asked by Mr. H, the kindly corner store owner, to mind his dog while he's away, it's up to Felix to either reciprocate the benevolence Mr. H has always shown him, or perpetuate the neglect handed down as a family legacy.

Once Farina manages to climb aboard himself, the kids attempt to stop the runaway locomotive, but have no luck until the engine crashes into a grocery truck. As it turns out, however, the entire incident is revealed to be a dream Farina had as Joe and Chubby's father lectured the kids about rail-yard safety.

At that time, Wheezer's new mother and father decide to adopt Mary Ann as well. The couple's friends all each adopt a child as well; even Farina is adopted by the maid at Wheezer's new home.
