Plot

Eddie (Cooper) wears a leg brace and his mother will not let him play like the other boys. His hope is that a German doctor will be able to operate and fix his leg. When his cousin Froggie comes to live with his family, he is nice to Mr. and Mrs. Randall, but mean to Eddie.

Uncle Jonas (Sale) sees what is happening, but Eddie's parents do not believe him as Froggie seems so nice. Uncle Jonas tries to make Eddie tougher by teaching him boxing and baseball, but all it does is get Jonas thrown out of the house.

Cast
gollark: Nim would be better if it magically had good libraries.
gollark: It uses Python syntax mostly, yes. More expression-oriented which is neat.
gollark: I imagine it's just Gibsoidal apioids.
gollark: You can tell if a sentence is gollark by running the gollark algorithm in reverse.
gollark: Nim is basically what I would make if I were competent and focused enough to make a programming language, but not magically able to make a good ecosystem or make everything as elegant and consistent and good as I might like.
