The Rascals, feeling unloved at home, decide to become pirates. Meanwhile, a mother, an aunt and a valet join the cops in searching for the runaways.

A couple makes dolls modeled on neighborhood kids. A gardener at a mansion buys four of them for Mary, the girl of the house. He’s her only friend: her parents neglect her for work and card games and her governess is humorless. Mary loves the dolls and dreams of them during her nap. While Mary sleeps, the governess throws the dolls in the dust bin. Mary wakes and goes searching – outside she runs into the very same four kids who were the dolls’ models, and she thinks she’s still dreaming. She invites them back to the mansion where she’ll either make fast friends or the gang will need to make a fast getaway when the governess finds them.

The kids’ families plan a Sunday picnic. The group’s wagon gets loose with the gang inside, leaving the adults behind. Once on their own, the kids decide to have their own picnic.

A man dressed as the devil scares the gang into minding their mothers.

Mickey invites the gang to hunt for ‘wild animals’ on his farm. The fun is interrupted when the kids come across a real bear.

The gang mistakenly believes a police patrol is after them for beating up a cop’s boy; they wind up encountering the police’s real quarry: Red Mike.
