After exhaustive tests, Dr. Bellows orders Tony and Roger into a survival conditioning program. Comdr. Kiski starts them off on a 10 mile run, 3 hours of exercise and uphill jogs in jackets loaded with sand. Staggering home, Tony takes Jeannie dancing as he had promised but falls asleep in the nightclub. When Bellows and Kiski appear, Roger awakens Tony by knocking everything over. Amazed that Tony can still dance, Kiski declares he now will let loose. Jeannie feels sorry for the boys, but is assured Kiski will ease off. Then, despite broiling heat, they are ordered out in winter gear. After Kiski sets Tony and Roger off, Jeannie appears with a note from their mothers. As Kiski sarcastically compares her to his doting Aunt Effie, Jeannie blinks.

Danny is in the doghouse again. He has written a piece about Keith for the local paper and his imagination has gone wild. Needless to say, when Keith finds out he is furious and with good cause - everyone at school is needling him about the article. But Danny apologizes and all is well - until the second installment of the article appears. This time it is Shirley who must suffer the embarrassment of Danny's publicity campaign. The worst part of it is that Shirley, who doesn't want to leave the house, has to appear in public at a concert. The performance turns out to be successful and Shirley is relieved. Danny's punishment is not forgotten, however, as the family takes revenge in a Sunday supplement article. There are many juicy parts including the bit about Danny's "ballet lessons!"
