At home, Phil is climbing a tree to rescue a kite his girls were playing with. Alice and Willie tease him about not being as young as he used to be, and the risk of falling. Leaving a broken telephone wire on the ground, Phil hides inside and leaves Willie to deal with the grouchy neighbor. Is there other safe hobbies for Phil to take up, like crocheting? Frankie pops in, and is surprised to find Phil with needlework. Does Frankie have any ideas for a hobby? The guys appease Alice, and go to the hobby shop to find something. On the way Phil sings, Froggie Went a Courting.
The hobby store clerk is Frank Nelson who suggests a few ideas. Though he refuses at first, Phil comes home with an electric train set and a few gadgets. Fast forward and the track is all set up. With Frankie taking charge, what could go wrong? Alice takes time to sing, Stanley Steamer.
In search of a replacement transformer for the train set, Frankie and Phil decide to swipe the one from the neighbor with the broken phone wire. What could go wrong? Will there be some explaining to do when a fire breaks out in Mr Gaylin’s cellar? Alice tries to turn on the charm to sway the cops, but to no avail. A shared hobby seems to do the trick, and it doesn’t involve trains.
