Story
The gang, including Jackie, Mickey, and several extras, finds out that poor Mary Jane and her mother are about to be run out of business by a cheating entrepreneur, so they go to Ernie's house for his help. They find him pacing back and forth in a barrel, waiting for literally all his clothes to dry. The gang teases him at first, and then explains Mary Jane's predicament. Realizing he could never live with himself if he didn’t help a friend in need, Ernie goes downtown in just the barrel with the rest of the gang.

Thanks to Ernie's brilliant ideas such as making a dog look rabid to scare away the rival's customers, and using Dinah the Mule to kick deliveries to the right addresses in record time, Mary Jane's mother's store is saved. There was one mishap when Ernie tripped and rolled down a big hill, but after being dizzy for several minutes he recovered just fine.
