Season 21 - Episode Guide

A casting director witnesses the gang's dog, Rover, doing some impressive stunts and offers him a screen test.

The gang gets splattered with mud by a passing motorist while walking to school. Froggy takes them to his garage where he's created some cleaning fluid with his chemistry set. The stuff works like a charm, but stinks terribly. Before long, the boys get used to the smell, but find that they're unwelcome on the bus, in the schoolroom, and in the local movie theater.

The boys try out a weighing machine which dispenses a piece of paper telling their fortune, which reads "Unexpected Riches." Rich boy Ken fools them into thinking there's a treasure buried in his yard. This means the gang will dig a hole that Ken's father had told him to take care of. While taking turns with the shovel, the gang dreams about what they'll do with their treasure.

The gang is prevailed upon by the rest of the kids in their club to come up with a solution regarding all the hardships they're enduring in the interest of the war. The gang puts on a play in which Mickey plays Benjamin Franklin and teaches the kids all about true patriotism.

Janet decides to run away from home since her sister is getting all the attention. The gang prevails upon Mr. and Mrs. Jones to adopt Janet, but the couple decides to teach Janet a lesson. They virtually enslave her, and then arrange for her parents to come get her. By the time they arrive, Janet (with the help of the gang) has run away again, this time to live in a cave.

The gang puts on a patriotic musical revue in front of a live audience that is also broadcast on the radio.

The gang goes to visit Mickey's uncle on his farm. They spend the day ineptly trying to accomplish the chores. At one point, a mule gives chase, and they take refuge on a pile of hay. Their uncle gets rid of the mule, but not before the gang is sucked into the baling machine.

Froggy decides to run against incumbent Mickey in the election for clubhouse president. After two voting sessions take place, the club cannot seem to break a tie. As a solution, they draw a line down the middle of the clubhouse and have two presidents. This results in disputes between the two clubs, until Buckwheat preaches about Abraham Lincoln, and the kids all nod in agreement.
