The trick works like a charm on both Barney and Fred, who now accompany their wives uncomplainingly on trips shopping and to the beauty salon, among other things. Then Fred, while awake, overhears the girls talking about what they've been up to, and he comes up with the perfect way both to get even with the girls and to nip in the bud their latest effort: to get the boys to buy them mink coats.

Pebbles quietly takes things from various stores. But at a jewelry store, Baffles Gravel alias "Lightfingers Leo" a real thief plants a diamond necklace in Pebbles' carriage and Fred thinks Pebbles stole that as well.
