Plot

The gang competes in their version of the Olympics. As the boys try shot put, pole vault and hurdles, Wheezer teaches Minnie how to blow a raspberry. They secretly razzle the gang, but the gang attacks an outsider whom they accuse of making the noises. Farina tries the shot put, then later exhibits an exceptional ability in pole vaulting. Joe has troubles with the pull-up bar and javelin. Peggy and Jean arrive to cheer on their hero, Joe. A rival gang appears and pelts the kids with eggs and tomatoes, and the gang returns fire. They eventually catch Wheezer and Minnie razzing them and then run away with Minnie on their heels.
