The kids know not what the new teacher will look like, only her name, a rather pungent moniker of "Miss Crabtree". They imagine this "Miss Crabtree" to be dried up old hag, and concoct a plan to disrupt the class with items such as a white mouse, red ants, & sneezing powder. Then, the kids are to have their young siblings: Wheezer, Dorothy, & Hercules come in and tell Miss Crabtree that they need to be excused to go home..... and then, we're all goin swimmin! Jack, the mastermind of the operation, asks Wheezer if he remembers what to say. Wheezer says Mama wants Jack home right away she's gonna shoot Papa! Jackie says No, that's too strong, just say important business. However, the plan falls apart when Jackie takes a ride to school from a beautiful young lady with a shiny roadster. Unbeknownest to Jackie, his benefactor is actually Miss Crabtree, and he tells her everything about the plan to harass the new teacher. She drops Jack off a mile from the school, and Jack tells her y know you're almost pretty as MIss McGillicuddy.... all except in your nose. After telling the gang about the beautiful lady that gave him the ride, Jack is shocked to find that the lady with the roadster and Miss Crabtree are one and the same.
