Miss Davenport makes a pass at Barry and now he refuses to go back to the library; Pearl spots a personal ad in the paper and figures it's Howard setting up a meeting with Marina; Alvin decides to make Nora jealous.

Howard wants to learn to fly. Billy gets an answer to his ad looking for Merry Men, but the applicant isn't quite what he expected. Barry refuses to leave the stairs in his home.

Clegg and crew are out for their daily walk when they notice that Lenny (the Swan Man) is back in town, this time following a strange voice. Howard begins an etymology club, consisting of two members.

Alvin has Truly and Norman over for a Holiday dinner. Glenda invited a man to dinner that Barry does not like.

Auntie Wainwright gives Tom and Smiler a dinner that is actually nice, and then empties their pockets in a card game.
