Mr. Morton is a hypochondriac whose doctor has prescribed sugar pills and advised his wife that they adopt some kids. The gang, meanwhile, is playing ball outside the house and sends a line drive right through a window in the Morton house. Both Mr. Morton and his butler pretend to be crazy to frighten the kids, breaking vases and the like. But when he discovers Alfalfa's little brothers eating his pills, he suddenly becomes quite serious, and the doctor is summoned.
