James manages to make a fool of himself while also alienating the newest kid to the Walnut Grove school all in the same breathe. In an attempt to turn a frown upside down, Charles invites James on a trip to Minneapolis. Things take an interesting turn when a stray/wild dog starts to tagalong and proves companionship comes in many different forms. How come Laura is acting like she's never worked with someone who has a stutter? When will the kids of the W.G. realize running away doesn't solve anything? Who was in the bear suit this time?

Harriet is approached with a new method on how to operate her restaurant to earn more profits. Due to Harriet's inability to read a contract, she ends up over her head. Harriet is not the only one feeling the effects of the contract: Mr. Oleson, Caroline, Hester Sue and, of course, Charles are all taking on more burden with less pay. Realizing he might be stuck making dinners for the brood at Plum Creek, Charles comes up with a plan to take down Mrs. Sullivan's Army. How does Hester Sue spend her time away from the restaurant?
