The excitement of Halloween is in the air. Their adventures begin with an elaborate prank involving an antique fire engine. Winter brings tobogganing and romance, spring an encounter with the tough uptown Trucker gang in Stutz’s junkyard, and summer a raid on a girl scout camp out at the Pine Hill Reserve.
