Butch raises the ire of a neighbor as part of an initiation of the Oak Street Marauders. Peabody wanted to press charges, but the police talk him out of it. A visit by the whole family doesn't make progress, so Nanny comes up with an idea to try to warm Peabody up o the human race.
A tumbledown house on Oak Street houses a nasty hermit that hates the world, and even after kindness is repaid by having her arrested, Nanny perseveres and finds out he's really a master puppeteer, with a collection of memorabilia and a puppet stage from his once great career.—WesternOne
