Donny and Tad are two young boys who enjoy playing board games and outdoor games with each other. One Saturday, they decided they would go to the school to see if they could hang out with Roger and his gang. But when they get there, Roger is mean to Tad and teases him mercilessly. When Donny stands up for his friend, they tease him too. Donny and Tad decide to go home and play by themselves. When Roger shows up at Donny's door that evening, it prompts Donny's father to ask questions. Donny explains to him that Roger and his gang were mean to Tad, and Donny suggests making his own gang with Tad. With the help of his father, Donny and Tad make a new gang that is always nice to everyone.
