THE DOUBLE DAY OF DANNY DILLON: A poster boy for poor dental hygiene, young Danny has a cavity and a very bad attitude. The dentist tells him he should brush more often, but Danny claims he's too busy to tend to his toothies. But through the motion-picture miracle of Reverse Motion, little Danny sees the day in reverse, with special attention made of all the dumb things he did when he should have been brushing his teeth! An important lesson from the American Society of Dentistry for Children!

A PLAIN WHITE ENVELOPE (1965): Steve is a sad sack with a broken arm. Feeling sorry for himself because he can’t participate in the graduation-day races, Steve decides to win the Spelling Bee instead – just like his big annoying sister who he totally resents. So Steve tells his favorite teacher about his decision but, during the conversation, their books fall and Steve inadvertently ends up with the envelope containing the spelling bee words! Now what?! Steve really wants to win the Spelling Bee medal so he’s got a major decision to make…. (And isn’t Steve played by the same Jeff Conaway that was in "Grease" and "Taxi"? Check out that Jersey accent….)

DAYS OF A TREE: Fathers and their sons have been taking fishing trips for centuries. But this time around, David is in for a big disappointment when Dad brings him to his personal fishing hole only to discover it’s been devastated by a forest fire! Unable to fish, David mopes around the cabin while Dad’s in the doghouse unless he can find something fun for them to do. Fun? That’s it! What’s more fun than visiting with the Forest Ranger and learning all about the fire that ruined their vacation? Whoopee!

SHARING ECONOMIC RISKS (1947): Bill's snazzy bicycle was stolen, which sucks because he needs it for his paper route. Fortunately, Dad was a smart cookie to put the bike on the family property insurance policy. Not one to take financial risks, Dad has insured everything, even Grandpa!

THUNDER & LIGHTNING (1950): What causes electrical sparks to leap from clouds to the earth?
